Comment

HT-24 is a patriotic token which is a muling of two dies made by John Gibbs of Belleville, New Jersey. The obverse with the ship is the same as the reverse of his HT-202 token. The reverse with the cow is the same as the reverse of HT-204B he made for T. D. Seaman. HT-24 is most common in circulated condition.
