<p>[QUOTE=&quot;shop hermit, post: 732869, member: 21468&quot;]First, let me say that I am not a coin collector.&nbsp; The reason I&#039;m on this forum is to get some information.&nbsp; I recently found an old coin (or token) and need some information about it.&nbsp; According to information aquired by Googling, it is a &quot;hard times token&quot;....but is it really?&nbsp; It is about 1 1/4&quot; dia. and appears to be made of copper.&nbsp; Around the periphery of one side are the words &quot;my substitute for the US bank.&nbsp; In the middle is a bust of Jackson and below that the words, &quot;expirement, MY currency, My glory.&nbsp; On the reverse side, around the periphery are the words PERISH CREDIT&nbsp; PERISH COMMERCE and the date 1824.&nbsp; In the middle, at the top, are the words&nbsp; MY victory, below that, the figure of a running hog and below that the words &quot;down with the bank&quot;.&nbsp; Now for the kicker....on the side with the jackson bust, the word &quot;COPY&quot; has been stamped in very small letters.&nbsp; Everything else is in raised letters, but this is indented and appears to have been stamped.&nbsp;&nbsp; What do I have?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
