Comment

On this Hard Times Token HT-240 the obverse scroll ends under the N in UNUM, while on HT-239 it is shorter ending under the 2nd U in UNUM. Otherwise, they are the same and both are common (R-1). Centre Market was a public market on Centre Street in Manhattan with vendors of many products and services.
