[QUOTE="acanthite, post: 315194, member: 6647"]There was a Hard Times token recently posted, it generated some commentary on the number of varieties that exist. I would be curious to know if this particular one as well has varieties. I enjoy these tokens primarily for their wit, something that is normally not possible on coins, and thus an angle of history that is only viewed on old newspaper political cartoons.
