1833 Token HT-175 Cu, Full Brockage Obv Francis L. Brigham MA, BN MS (PCGS#744694)

August 2019 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Rosemont, IL

详细说明: Massachusetts--New Bedford. 1833 Francis L. Brigham. HT-175, Low-72, W-MA-280-15a. Rarity-5. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm--Full Obverse Brockage--AU-55 (PCGS). A second HT-175, this piece is a major error with the reverse design not present and, in its place, a full mirror brockage from the obverse of a previously struck token. Both sides are struck off center trivially to 6 o'clock, the lower border beading and inner circle missing from obverse and reverse. Bright pinkish-rose color in areas point to an ancient cleaning, the surfaces largely retoning in steel-brown. The diagnostic die break that bisects the obverse is plainly evident, also as part of the brockage on the other side. Free of detracting marks and carbon flecks, this is a particularly intriguing example of the scarcer of Brigham's two varieties. Provenance: Ex Stack's; Anthony Terranova; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
