The Secret Service seized the dies for the 1883 octagonal H in 1883 and told Brand that he could not make these tokens anymore because they could be confused with gold dollars!"<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
