1840's Spering Good & CO Store Token

to the CCF !!

Yes, Rulau listed two varieties, R5 and R6. He valued them from $70 in VG to $400 if uncirculated. Rulau noted that the company was listed in directories between 1841-1848. Thus, these would not be placed in the Hard Times era. HT tokens in generally tend to command higher prices than those in the so-called Merchant Era, 1845-60.

Cool find of a scarce issue, I'd say.

Posting pics on this site will inevitably garner more responses.

I just checked McElroy's 1849 Philadelphia City Directory. Spering, Good & Co., dry goods, are listed at 138 High Street, therein. Other Philly directories can be found at this website ....
