<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 8112444, member: 10461&quot;]Mine is apparently <i>cataloged</i> as a HTT, and is dated &quot;1837&quot; as many are.&nbsp; It is also struck on a large cent-sized flan.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s something of a fantasy, given that it was actually struck circa 1902.&nbsp; I suspect it was done as a 75th anniversary commemorative for C.D. Peacock Jewelers, who were founded in 1837.&nbsp; It&#039;s kind of neat that they issued a &quot;retro&quot; Hard Times Token so late, given that most merchant tokens at the turn of the century would have been closer to small cent-sized.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously the folks who produced this token were aware of Hard Times Tokens and this was a deliberate &quot;throwback&quot; to those.</p><p><br /></p><p>The company is <a href="https://cdpeacock.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cdpeacock.com/" rel="nofollow">still around</a> today, and is still a seller of fine timepieces.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.colleconline.com/artefactimg/fce2382df96e4e178fd8741fc4cb7cd0/ded3b077cec945ac8fff975bc522f93f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
