Low-55, HT-63 variety.

One of our favorite Hard Times Tokens, this bearing an obverse design similar to the Matron Head Large Cent, but with the seemingly bizarro ‘LOCO FOCO’ (a faction of the Democratic Party in the United States that existed from 1835 until the mid-1840s.) on Lady Liberty’s headband.

The reverse legends BENTON EXPERIMENT and MINT DROP reference then Senator Thomas Hart Benton’s staunch advocacy for hard currency.

And this is an incredibly striking example with about as much original red as we’ve ever seen on this issue.
