Submitted what I thought was a low-ball bid on this one, but lo and behold it's mine now!
I already have a really nice NGC slabbed AU 53 one, but don't mind having a second!

This one was well-loved but still retains a ton of detail @hon. Do you have the male version too?

Spence, I only have the two Sister ones. I'd like to get one of the originals from the UK

Spence, it does not seem likely that I'll be adding the "Am I Not a Man and a Brother" version to my collection. But if you have a spare, we can trade!

"'Just four examples of this particular 1838 "Am I Not a Man and a Brother" Hard Times token are known, with Heritage reporting, "The other three specimens are the John J. Ford, Jr. example also in a major private collection, the Don Miller piece that is now in an advanced Long Island Collection, and the granular example that was recently discovered in Canada.'"

Yah, you'd need pretty deep pockets I think to have both of them. However, there is a representation of the artwork at the Harpers Ferry Museum in West Virginia.
