Hello all. We all know what wishy washy means. This is part 2. Basically, coins that fit these words..... feeble ineffectual weak vapid milk-and-water effete half-hearted spiritless irresolute indecisive pathetic weak-kneed insipid pallid wan sickly Post yours as well.
This might be called a multi-level wishy-Washy. This Hard Times Token, Low 51, was the first for this design. The dies for this piece were cut by Edward Hulseman. Another die sinker liked it so much that he made a copy which was not as well done. The most obvious difference is the "fat donkey." It took me a long time to find this example, which is rated as an R-3. If it really is an R-3, it's a very tough R-3. I think that it is scarcer, especially in nice condition. And here is the "wishy-washy piece it replaced.
Here's a medal that was crusted beyond recognition, I got the firehouse side done and moved onward to find out it's an Italian church medal of some kind. It was a disappointment but only cause it was in Italian and it took too long to uncover!
