Love that Hard Times Token Avatar. I have one with the same reverse. What is the obverse on yours? Mine is the 'Substitute For Shinplasters' http://www.coinpeople.com/images/grade/images/g16o.jpg I think Civil War and Hard Times Tokens are an under-rated area of numismatics. I don't hear a lot of people talk about them. I know those who do collect them are pretty die hard about them. I only have one example of each (in my US type set) but I do like them and there certainly is a lot of history in them.
Here is the obverse I absolutely love these tokens. It represents a part of history we often overlook.
cohibachris picked one up just like it at the show in NC. Made me look for a new one I will have to pick a nice rare coin when I get back to the office.
