What Your Budget Buys - $150 Edition

In the $125-175 range by my cost, though the latter is likely worth considerably more:

Japan (Meiji Era): gold/electrum Nibu-Kin (2 bu), ca. 1868-1869

(PCGS AU55; population 69 with 24 higher as of mid-2017)

United States: copper "Hard Times" token, C.D. Peacock Jewelers, Chicago, backdated "1837" (actually struck ca. 1902)

(PCGS MS63 BN; population 1 - the only example certified by PCGS as of mid-2017)
