<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 8437194, member: 116145"]I won a few tokens in the 10-30 range from the same seller (I'm a big fan of combined shipping <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) These are two of my favorites. From PCGS - The exact source of the 1781 North American Tokens is unknown and has been attributed to Ireland because of the presence of a harp on the obverse. However, the tokens are similar to some contemporary Canadian tokens, so this is another possibility. Regardless of their source or where they circulated, the North American tokens have been accepted into the canon of U.S. "Colonial" coins. It reads, "North American Token 1781" on the obverse and "Commerce" on the reverse. I also like the ship and the price was $26. Then we have an 1834 Hard Times token featuring Andrew Jackson holding saber in right hand, with money bag in left hand with satirical legend reading "A Plain System Void of Pomp" on the obverse, and the Democrat donkey (with LLD lettering on) "The Constitution as I Understand It Roman Firmness" According to Numista - The image on obverse expressed contemporary fears that it was dangerous that the executive could control both the army and the treasury. The reverse image is because Harvard gave him an honorary LL.D., he was then portrayed as a Jackass with an LL.D. on its side. “The Constitution as I understand it” was his explanation of why he took the anti-federalist stance of putting the federal money into 25 pet State banks. Roman firmness was a jibe of the day to describe him. $16.66 for that one. Sellers pics.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1495657[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1495658[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1495659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1495660[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
