Indianhead, if this topic interests you, you should pick up a reference book on the subject. I have a copy of Indian Peace Medals and Related...
Hello Jake, Just to make sure you have made the correct identification, did you compare both styles of Indian head design to see which one your...
My thoughts as well. I am not familiar with colonials, but every Hard Time Token (1830s & 1840s) I've personally seen with that type of coloring...
I suppose an outdated reference is better than no reference at all. In Stephen Alpert and Lawrence Elman's "Tokens and Medals, a Guide to the...
Hi Acanthite, your token is a patriotic cwt, id 45/332a. This is an R1 rarity token, with over 5000 known to exist. Value is in the $15 ballpark....
I just wanted to say that I didn't forget about checking on this token. Taxes took wayyyyyy more time than I thought, and now I'll be in Mexico...
I didn't forget about checking on this token, I just haven't come across my maverick token reference as yet, and am out of town thru the end of...

I have one of those, but I don't recall if I have a location/id for it. My nights have been busy (as well as my days), so I was checking in from...
E.A. King authored a book on these tokens that provides some background info, but most of the book is ids/listings. I have one at home if you wish...
This is my favorite Lincoln. Hamlin tags along on the flip side.
The obverse letters are too large to be MI525C-1a, and the reverse should have JACKSON HALL/BLOCK/JACKSON,/MICH. This token is MI525C-3a. It...
I may be able to help you, but I would like to see some clearer photos. If you could provide the diameter and weight, that could be helpful, as...
