1837 Token HT-284 Copper George A. Jarvis NY, BN MS (PCGS#77306)

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

详细说明: New York--New York. 1837 George A. Jarvis. HT-284, Low-123, W-NY-640-15a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment, rotated approximately 15 degrees counterclockwise. Beautiful satin surfaces display a blend of autumn and golden-brown patina, a blush of copper-rose iridescence at the lower left reverse border. The strike is sharp throughout, and there are no distracting marks. Overall smooth, with just a bit of light verdigris over the lower third of the reverse precluding a higher Mint State grade. This is the more available of the two Jarvis varieties, distinguished from HT-283 by two leaves at the reverse border (instead of two stars) and slightly different styling to Liberty's portrait. Uncirculated examples, as here, are eagerly sought by both specialists and type collectors. Provenance: Ex Larry Babin, July 21, 1973; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. The plate token for the variety in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokens by Q. David Bowers. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
