- Massachusetts--New Bedford. 1833 Francis L. Brigham. HT-175, Low-72. Rarity-6. Copper. 28.5 mm. AU-55 BN (NGC). A predominantly copper brown example with a few swirls of gray-brown and, on the reverse only, crimson patina scattered about. Overall boldly defined, this satiny and appealing Choice AU is sure to catch the eye of advanced Hard Times token enthusiasts. HT-175 is the rarer of the two Brigham types, attributable by a circle within the beaded borders on both sides. Cheapside, on the East side of Market Square, was a long building housing a number of shops. Brigham was an entrepreneur, and seemingly abandoning the dry goods trade, took up the practice of dentistry (which in the 1830s required no special license; barbers often engaged in this profession). Provenance: From the Ralph A. Edson Collection. Click here for certification details from NGC.
