Now exonumists have access to a complete catalog of more than 500 known coin substitutes and satirical scrip of the Jacksonian Period from 1832 to 1844. This updated volume is based on Lyman H. Low's 1899 classic reference. More than 70 pages highlight recently discovered information including die varieties, die linkages to various producers, and other characteristics never before shown in a catalog. Large, detailed photographs depict obverse and reverse token images. Price listings, given in four grades of condition, reflect current market values. An in-depth introduction thoroughly explains the history of Hard Times Tokens and their manufacturers, uses, valuations, and rarity scale.
