of Hard Times tokens

Collector’s Journal

 Volume 1 

-- New! (not Rulau)

News, articles, clips, current and past events for collectors and those interested in the history of the Hard Times era 1832-1844 timeframe and its tokens and numismatic collectibles.

Within a lively format the information is timeless, not found elsewhere, and helpful to the collector who wants to enrich their collecting experience.

We’re grateful for the enthusiastic response the publication has received. Saddle-stitched 11x17 format litho on 70# linen text and 65# cover stocks, copyright 2002. $14.95 US cover price.

--- The die-cut front cover of HTtCJ Volume 1 reveals HT 73 peeking through; back cover has the reverse. It’s all part of the story of who those creatures on the variety really are.

--- Past and Present Things, Events & Happenings pertinent to the specialist.

--- Selected Auction Sales significant to the connoisseur.

--- Down through the years many auction sales did not identify the HTt collector or collection on the sale catalogue’s front cover. Many went unnoticed. This first-time (published anywhere) organized listing put specialists on the right track in uncovering notable sales and pedigrees.

--- Die States of HTt varieties. A discussion, proposal and simplified scale for identifying die states. This is an eye-opener and can make you a better collector.

--- Important HTt Cross-Reference. Ever find yourself transposing the wrong Low # to the HT #, or vice-versa? Maybe it’s just us, but we need all the help we can get. This reference began helping the moment we began using it.

---  John Ford, Jr., Walter Breen, and the New Netherlands Coin Co. Need we say more?

--- The great Lyman Low’s first published descriptive of the series dated 1886. You’d be surprised at other American 1886 births. You’ll read about it here.

--- Sprinkled throughout the 24-pg illustrated book… Historical backgrounds. Recommendations. HTt Resources. What to look for…and where.

-- And, of course, as they say…Much More!
