- New York--New York. 1837 Ezra B. Sweet. HT-335, Low-141 W-NY-1000-11a. Rarity-3. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment, rotated approximately 30 degrees clockwise. This is a lovely Choice example with glossy copper-brown surfaces that retain faint remnants of faded mint color along the right reverse border. Obverse periphery devoid of denticulation from 6 to 9 o'clock due to softness of strike, but otherwise we note bold to sharp detail from the borders to the centers. A few minor marks and a lone carbon spot in and around the central reverse appear to be the only impediments to a higher numeric grade. Both varieties of Sweet's tokens are scarce to rare in grade above EF, confirming the significance of this handsome Choice Mint State survivor. Similar in quality, if not marginally finer, than both the Ford and Dice-Hicks specimens. Provenance: Ex Stack's, June 23, 1962; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013.
