    1837
    HARD TIMES TOKEN
    Coronet Head / "MINT DROP"
    Looking much like the U.S. Large Cent it was privately produced to replace, this Bronze Hard Times Token is a satirical statement on the floundering economy during the Jackson and Van Buren Administrations. Their manufacture became necessary and popular as many citizens were hoarding U.S. Coinage.
    This historic example is a little grainy, but exhibits much of its original detail...
    Good Luck!
