Here is a nifty little 'go along' accessory for my Palmer & Longking daguerreotype camera. It's a c.1850 gallery token issued by M.A. Root (Marcus A.) of Philadelphia. The earliest galleries advertised using 'broadsides' (small posters) and coin-like tokens. Most of these tokens are American Eagle coins with the gallery info stamped on the back.

Thanks, officialfuel!
Thanks, ttomtucker!
This very well could be a 'Hard Times' token, the minted year seems right. Love it!
Thanks, tom61375! And yes, I too noticed the resemblance to 'hard times' tokens. Have you seen my other dag token? It's different and doesn't look like this one. Refer to: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/64801-m-a-roots-daguerrian-gallery-token-and-a
