Lot Title:	Group of six Hard Times tokens
Lot Number:	877
Description:	Some bidders may take issue with the fact that each has been modestly cleaned, but strong details will nevertheless appeal to many collectors, as can be inferred by our DETAILS ONLY estimates. A pair of HT-70 "I Take The Responsibility" examples have the sharpness of AU or better and seem to be struck off of comparable dies, with a thin crack showing through "H" at the lower reverse. A related anti-Jackson HT-69 "I Take the Responsibility / Van Buren" offers UNC details or nearly so despite some hairlining and odd greenish hue. Next is a pair of HT-32 "Illustrious Predecessor", one struck a bit out of collar with XF details, and the other showing VF sharpness. The group concludes with a somewhat rarer HT-153 "Robinson's Jones & Co. / New York" that should have at least XF+ sharpness. Six coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
