- New York--New York. Undated (1834-1841) Collins Ready Made Linen & Fancy Store. HT-241, Low-233, W-NY-340-10b. Rarity-7. Brass. Plain Edge. 25.5 mm. AU-55 (PCGS). Medal alignment. The obverse is struck slightly off center to 2 o'clock, the reverse is well centered. Deep olive-brass and sandy-brown patina forms an even appearance overall. Despite the light wear, there are no mentionable marks. Exceedingly rare, despite our multiple offerings in Ford XXIII, which included not only this above average piece, but also the finest known in NGC MS-64. The challenge that this HT number will present for the collector of high grade Hard Times tokens is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that the Dice-Hicks specimen was a well circulated VG/VF. Clearly this offering represents an important bidding opportunity for the specialist. Provenance: From our sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XXIII, August 2013, lot 22214, where it was certified AU-58 by NGC. NGC insert #2600053-011 from that sale accompanies this lot.
