An example of this scarce Hard Times token which is a muling of two dies made by John Gibbs of Belleville, New Jersey. Worn but reasonably well detailed.
O: Sailing ship. AGRICULTURE AND COMMERCE *.
R: Cow facing right. *A FRIEND * TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Listed in Rulau, Hard Times Tokens as HT-24. I would grade this piece Fine (Sheldon VF30) but I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself.
For uncertified coins I provide a grading opinion using both the UK descriptive system and the Sheldon scale (based on ANA Grading Standards and/or PCGS Photograde) which will be better known to my US customers. I offer a grading opinion as a courtesy, but please examine the high resolution close up photos carefully and decide on a grade for yourself.
