206 - OH165BWa-2a R8 NGC MS65 RB 30% Red, mostly on the obverse. One Hair Cut Hill. The Hill refers to William Hill an African-American Barber located at 32 Central in Cincinnati Ohio. Hill also issued tokens for a Shave and $5.00, though what the later was good for is as yet unknown. We sold an NGC MS64 RB example in December 2018 for $1,134 on eBay. From the Lumberton, Steve Tanenbaum and Richard Crosby collections, earlier from Larry Dziubek in April 1998. (1500-2000)
