I saw a early copper price list with a heading of hard times tokens
and they were from the 1830's. One that was of interest had a variety
low 8 1834 running boar (assume it has a boar on it). I know about
hard time tokens during the civil war period but not this era. I
tried to find a reference to them in red book, crosby, breen but came
up empty. Could someone enlighten me about these. I am assuming they
wre put out during the depression during the 1830's (think it was one
of the worst one the country had ever seen - makes the great
depression look tame). But I don't ever recall seeing anything
numismatic about it - any help would be appreciated and are these
coppers that copper enthusist collect? - 2000-07-29
