- New York--New York. 1837 Centre Market. HT-240, Low-111, W-NY-300-15a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. 28 mm. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Medal alignment. Distinguished from HT-239, offered above, by the scroll ending beneath the letter N in UNUM on the obverse. A predominantly medium brown example with glints of original pinkish-rose color still adhering to the protected areas around some of the design elements, especially the lettering along the lower reverse border. A bit lightly struck at the left obverse periphery and in the centers, yet suitably bold in general, this appealing piece also has satiny luster and overall smooth surfaces. Ancient carbon deposits at the upper left obverse border and on the reverse at the letters CE in CENTRE seem to be the only impediments to a Choice Mint State grade. A pleasing Uncirculated example of this Hard Times token variety. Provenance: Ex Cindy Grellman, July 16, 1980; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. The plate token for the variety in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokensby Q. David Bowers. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
