- Massachusetts--Boston. Undated (1830-1834) Wm. H. Milton. HT-163A, Low-265A, W-MA-090-15a. Rarity-5. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. AU-53 (PCGS). Coin alignment. Warmly and evenly patinated in sandy-copper, this hard and tight example retains bold detail to all design elements. A few faint spots and trivial marks are easily overlooked. This is a scarce die variety of Milton's token, distinguished from the more common HT-163 by periods after the words HALL, CLOTHING and WAREHOUSE on the reverse. This variety was missing from Dice-Hicks; Ford had neither HT-163 nor HT-163A. Indeed, this is the first example of this HT number that we can recall handling, and its offering in this sale represents an important bidding opportunity for advanced collectors. Provenance: Ex Leslie Heilbronner, October 9, 1973; 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.
