2009 Hard Times Token - Daniel Carr Creation

[scottishmoney]

Curiously I have always admired Daniel Carr's creations, his coin designs are fantastic, but until now I have never owned one   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.

As a great defender of the Jefferson Nickel any chance you could tell me how to get my handa on one of these?

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.
