- New Jersey--Allaire. Undated (1835) Howell Works Garden. HT-201A, Low-Unlisted, W-NJ-100-15a. Rarity-9. Copper. Plain Edge. 29.5 mm--Overstruck on an 1820 Matron Head Cent--EF-40 (PCGS). Coin alignment. A fascinating piece, the 1820 date of the undertype is fully legible along the lower left obverse border relative to the impression from the token dies. Other remnants of the undertype that are particularly bold are stars 1 and 13 on the obverse and the letters TES OF in the legend on the reverse. Close inspection also reveals outlines to many other obverse stars, Liberty's portrait, the reverse wreath, and the letter E in ONE. The strike from the reverse die of the token is well centered with the word TOKEN sharp. Obverse impression from the token die off center approximately 10 degrees to 5 o'clock, the rose boldly defined for the grade, but only the word WORKS in the legend fully legible. Rich antique copper brown patina throughout. The surfaces hard and tight, yet with numerous wispy handling marks from time spent in circulation, and an ancient scratch on the reverse above the letter E in TOKEN. Unique, and sure to see spirited bidding among advanced collectors. Provenance: Ex Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, 2013.
