Undated (ca. 1835) Blacksmith Token. Wood-23, BL-40B. AU-50.，84.0 grains. Struck in medal orientation. Struck on a very thin, choice chocolate brown flan that was too thin to receive any of the fullness of detail that may have been in the dies. The dies themselves are badly rusted, broken, failing and worn, and they have been reengraved many times to keep them in service producing Blacksmith coppers, including the rare mulings with Hard Times Token and other token dies. Small curved clip is joined by a pronounced planchet cutter lip on the reverse. Though little detail remains, the fields show all the fine texture of the die surface, and the coin is little worn but for some scruffiness probably imparted by the manufacturer to make this coin look older than it actually was.
