New York--New York. Undated (1835-1838) New York & Harlaem Railroad Co. HT-301, Low-Unlisted, W-NY-840-10a, Atwood-Unlisted. Rarity-7. Copper. Plain Edge. 18 mm, octagonal. AU-55 (PCGS). Medal alignment. Variety with a leaf counterstamp in the center of the reverse, sometimes called a feather. Handsome, fully original surfaces are toned in warm antique copper-brown patina. Both sides are sharply defined overall, all major design elements bold and the leaf counterstamp clear. Free of detracting marks and carbon. A small circular punch in the upper obverse field is present on this and most other examples of this elusive variety that we have handled in recent years: 1 - NGC AU-55 BN. Ex Presidential Coin and Antique Company, Inc.'s Sale 58, July 1995, lot 65; Presidential Coin and Antique Company, Inc.'s sale of the Sara Hinckley Collection, November 2006, lot 145; our (Stack's) sale of the Collections of James E. Dice & M. Lamar Hicks, July 2008, lot 3360; our Philadelphia Americana Sale of September 2013, lot 123, where it was incorrectly described as German silver. Circular punch in the reverse field just above the leaf counterstamp. 2- NGC EF-45 BN. Ex Presidential Coin and Antique Company, Inc.'s sale of November 1978, lot 894; our sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XXIII, August 2013, lot 22296, where it was incorrectly described as German silver. Circular punch in upper obverse field. 3 - Very Fine Details. Ex Presidential Coin and Antique Company, Inc.'s Sale 41, December 1986, lot 22; our (Stack's) sale of the Collections of James E. Dice & M. Lamar Hicks, July 2008, lot 3361. No circular punch on either side. The SLT-Bowers specimen is only the fourth different example of HT-301 that we have offered in the last decade, and it will certainly see spirited bidding among advanced collectors. Provenance: Ex William Panitch, 1984; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
