详细说明: New York--New York. 1837 Merchants Exchange. HT-293, Low-97, W-NY-760-20a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.1 mm. MS-64 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment. Satiny golden-brown surfaces with faded pinkish-rose color in the protected areas around the peripheries and design elements. Attractive with no detracting marks, a faint carbon spot out of the way at the lower right reverse border. HT-293 represents the final use of this obverse die, and it is readily differentiated from its HT-291 and 292 predecessors by the lack of a dash under the word CENT on the reverse. This number is readily available in Mint State by Hard Times token standards, although most such pieces are in lower grades usually MS-60 to MS-62. Provenance: Ex Joe Boesl, February 3, 1975; 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.
