Unlisted Hard Times Token ???? - 2 new
--------------------------------------
I was trying to identify an "illustrious predecessor" token and it appears to
be an unlisted variant of HTT A33. Low 17A, [link] The HTT 33's seem to be
identifiable by the position of the rear foot over the "R" in "predecessor". I
can't find any with the thin ears on this donkey. - Thurs, Feb 5 2009 11:41 pm

Coin Show - 9 new

I was not there but have heard reports of some dealers selling coins at a loss
to get some cash flow moving, closing their tables and taking the coins around
to other dealers at the show who are better financed. - Fri, Feb 6 2009 5:43

decent today (especially barrels of Civil War tokens and Confederate notes).

Gary Lewis showed incredibly poor judgement by making RCC an official ANA coin
club when there is no way that the ANA can control what is posted here. Thus
when discussion about a particular grading company's standards turned to libel
as shown in item 16 here [link] The ANA was dragged into a lawsuit along with
