    I have a few of these 1850 Liberty tokens, first one is a htf one Gould's Saloon and rightfully pricey. :) The 2nd one is a double header, the obverse pic is also the reverse also htf and my bottom lady is same as yours, not as nice but the same!:smuggrin:

    It's not the most realistic picture, but I like that perspective drawing look and the open fields.

    Interesting what is the Colo/Iowa connection depicted?

    @Pickin and Grinin I have no idea, I bought it for the train.:D
    OK I googled it and Colo is a town in Iowa.
    Colo would be incorporated on April 26, 1876 and would take its name from the dog of railroad official John Blair. Reportedly Colo the dog succumbed to a grisly fate as it was crushed by a train that was carrying construction material.:eek:
    And Dan Carr made a medal for John Blair

    Blair Nebraska is also named after him. The town is just across the state line, also on US 30, which is depicted on the medal (“30”). I suppose before the interstates Colo was an important crossroads - US 30 goes a long way east-west and US 65 north-south.
