Hard Time Tokens are Alive and DOING WELL! The
Dice-Hicks’ Collection (7-28-08)

Numismatics is enjoying an absolutely astonishing time despite the down turn in the
economy.  Just one simple point to be made here and that is, the rare become increasingly
rare and there you have the enigma to this market!  

This last week, Stacks offered the James E. Dice and M. Lamar Hicks collection of Hard
Time and Merchant Tokens.  This is indeed a very unique collection in many ways, not the
least of which was the fact that the two gentlemen built the collected as a team.  How did this
strategy work?  Just take a look at the catalogue and admire the rarities they managed to
assemble and the answer is pretty impressive.  I have often heard individuals describe the
rarity of a coin as one that only comes across the auction block every 5-10 years (certainly
on way of looking at it) but, read on if you really what to know what the true meaning of
rarity is in numismatics.

Also keep in mind the great social and financial significance these Hard Time tokens
represent.  Hard Times tokens were issued due to an unusual period in the financial history
of the United States and one that was not to be unique!
