- Ohio--Cleveland. Undated (1840s) A. Loomis. HT-Unlisted, Low-Unlisted, W-OH-040-40a. Rarity-9. Copper. Plain Edge. 29.8 mm--Overstruck on an HT-291--AU-55 (PCGS). Coin alignment. The uniqueA. Loomis token overstruck on a Merchants Exchange token, HT-291. Many of the features of the undertype are plainly evident on this fascinating piece, including much of the reverse wreath and lettering on the obverse of the Loomis strike, as well as many details in the building and peripheral inscription from the obverse of HT-291 in and around the center of the primary design. Rich copper-brown patina with deeper charcoal-gray in the protected areas around many of the devices that is associated with light, ancient surface build up. Primary strike trivially off center to the lower obverse, upper reverse, but most major design elements are bold. Smooth and satiny surfaces reveal no marks or other blemishes of note. Another important A. Loomis bidding opportunity for the advanced Hard Times token enthusiast. Provenance: Ex Mike Ringo; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, October 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 (partially incorrect) provenance notes included.
