Title: 2009 Hard Times Token - Daniel Carr Creation
Post by: scottishmoney on August 31, 2009, 11:47:34 PM
Curiously I have always admired Daniel Carr's creations, his coin designs are fantastic, but until now I have never owned one :o  How could that be?  I love the Graebner press coins, but so far haven't gotten around to buying one.

But I saw this and had to have it ASAP, this is the 2009 Hard Times Token for One Nickel:

A fascinating reflection of the times, much like the 1830's HTT's that were a reflection of the times then.  "Banking Establishments Are More Dangerous Than Standing Armies"  Thomas Jefferson said this in 1816, I have always admired Jefferson, he sure was a visionary for then and now.

You can see them on his site linked above, they are $12 each.  There were 183 of them made then he went onto the silver examples which are $21, struck over the WWII silver nickels and then the die shattered after 54 were struck.  So a small mintage item, very attractive and a historic piece.
