Hard times tokens are some of my favorite finds. I found two a couple years ago within months of each other, and not another since. That's a real nice one Gary! Don't see those too often, Congrats!

Thanks, I didn't know the origin of the phrase or that it was uttered that early.

Never seen a token like that. Great job that it jumped under your coil.
