- New York--New York. 1837 J.H. Dayton. HT-249, Low-114, W-NY-400-10a. Rarity-3. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Medal alignment, with a slight counterclockwise rotation. This is a lovely piece, satin to modestly semi-reflective in finish with good centering. Mostly golden-brown surfaces retains wisps and tinges of faded mint red on both sides, mostly around the peripheries. Scattered handling marks preclude a Choice Mint State grade; there are no detracting carbon flecks. HT-249 is one of numerous varieties in the Hard Times token series that are available in an absolute sense, yet scarce to rare in Mint State. The Dice-Hicks specimen was also Uncirculated, as was Mr. Ford's. Dayton's commercial laundry catered to ships, steam boats, hotels, and private households. The 1837 edition of Longworth's American Almanaclists: "Dayton John H. washing-est. Seventeenth n. Avenue 5th." Provenance: From our Baltimore Auction of March 2014, lot 184.
