- New York--New York. Undated (1835-1838) New York & Harlaem Railroad Co. HT-299, Low-371, W-NY-840-10j, Atwood NY-630Da. Rarity-6. German Silver. Plain Edge. 18 mm, octagonal. AU-55 (PCGS). Medal alignment. Variety of this type with a rosette counterstamp in the center of the reverse. Streaks and swirls of olive and golden-russet enliven a base of pewter gray, the obverse the more boldly patinated of the two sides. Sharply struck with satiny surfaces that are quite well preserved for a survivor of this scarce, conditionally challenging number. As with HT-298, HT-299 is typically found well worn from commercial use, often with significant impairments. This piece rivals the Dice-Hicks specimen cataloged as Choice About Uncirculated, both of which rank among the finest examples of the variety that we have ever handled. Provenance: Ex Max M. Schwartz; Duane Feisel; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. The plate token for the variety in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokensby Q. David Bowers. Collector tag with (partially incorrect) attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
