1837 Political Token, 1806 Draped Bust Large Cent

[cannonball]

I had a play day today so I decided to go back to the ugly tree. The other day I found a 1723 Hibernia Farthing there so I thought I'd look for another one. No Farthings but I did find an interesting 1837 hard times token. "MILLIONS FOR DEFENCE NOT ONE CENT FOR TRIBUTE" is attributed to Robert Goodloe Harper, a US Senator from Maryland in the early 1800's. An online source says that a French diplomat had asked the US for what amounted to a bribe as well as legitimate financial assistance for the French. Other finds include an 1806 Large Cent, an 1870 Indian Head. and a few other trinkets from the ugly tree area.
