- 1834 Whig Victory. HT-14, Low-6, DeWitt-CE 1834-1, W-10-10b. Rarity-5. Brass. Reeded Edge. 25 mm--Obverse Struck 15% Off Center--MS-62 (PCGS). Medal alignment. The first of two HT-14 examples in this offering of the Bowers Collection, this piece is a dramatic error. The reverse is well centered in strike, trivially off center to the upper right, but affecting only the denticulation from 1 to 3 o'clock. The obverse, however, is struck approximately 15% off center to 10:30, a lip of blank flan forming the lower right border on that side. A shallow curved planchet clip just before 3 o'clock relative to the obverse is also noted. Both sides are lustrous and satiny with dominant brassy-gold patina, glints of iridescent flint gray in a few of the protected areas around the design elements and along the denticles. Offering smooth and appealing Mint State quality, this impressive piece is sure to appeal to advanced specialists in the Hard Times and political series. Provenance: From Presidential Coin and Antique Company, Inc.'s sale of the Sara Hinckley Collection of Hard Times Tokens, November 2006, lot 8.
