Thanks for your reply. Your estimate is higher than I would have thought but you're in a much better position...being a former dealer...to judge...
Interesting story, John. I hadn't heard that before but it would explain the damage seen on many of them as you say. Have you heard any estimates...
For a Wilbur token yours is in good shape. I've often seem them weakly struck, especially in the center. Bruce
Yeah, I just noticed it being old too. BTW, you can get a better version of that "vile sandwich" across the bridge in Jersey. No need to pay the...

A nice smooth attractive color. Nice example but do you think the obverse has been cleaned? I see some vertical hairlines but they could be from...
That's a Hard Times Token. These HTT's date from 1830's to the 1840's. Just Google the text on the token and you'll get a load of information....
