- Very Rare HT-370 Canadian Blacksmith Token / N. Starbuck & Son Muling Missing from Ford and Dice-Hicks New York--Troy. Undated (1835) N. Starbuck & Son. HT-370, Low-284B, W-NY-1740-45a, Wood-27. Rarity-7. Copper. Plain Edge. 25.5 mm. VF-20 (PCGS). Coin alignment, offset 45 degrees clockwise. Deep antique copper on both sides, with isolated high points and peripheral areas with lighter golden-brown. The 2015 Bowers Guide Book of Hard Times Tokensgives the diameter of this variety as 28.5 mm, although the present example is considerably smaller, as noted above. The obverse is rough, especially in the field, the reverse presenting as relatively smooth to the unaided eye. Part of the eagle is outlined, a few of the central and lower peripheral devices boldest on the obverse. HT-370 is highly elusive, as are all mulings of Hard Times token and Canadian Blacksmith dies. Crudely executed, typical of the variety, the obverse is a handmade die and the reverse was mostly defaced before used in this marriage. Missing from most leading collections, including Ford and Dice-Hicks. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier ex M.S. Rare Coins, October 25, 1988; 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 attribution and provenance notes included.
