I need to ask a favor.
Looks like a Hard Times token to me. Made privately to pass as one cent when coins were in short supply. Not familar with the design, though.
None of those coins looks proof to me. Also, I do not have my old sets handy for comparison, but I don't like that plastic. The old sets I think...
