Rare and Conditionally Challenging HT-350 Uncommonly Bold Fine Preservation New York--Troy. 1835 Bucklin's Interest Tables. HT-350, Low-88, W-NY-1660-20a. Rarity-7. Copper. Plain Edge. 27.5 mm. Fine-15 (PCGS). Coin alignment, offset approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise. An above average example of this scarce and conditionally challenging HT number. The dies for this variety were crudely executed in low relief, the surfaces acquiring considerable wear even after a relatively short time spent in circulation. On most survivors, the word TROY on Liberty's coronet is no longer legible, and the central reverse is usually devoid of detail. For the present example, however, we note a virtually full TROY and discernible, if faint, date. Reverse impression tight to the lower right border, obverse to 9 o'clock with little to no detail along the left border. Glossy copper-brown surfaces with some evidence of an ancient cleaning, although both sides have long since retoned. There are no mentionable marks apart from a dull obverse nick behind Liberty's hair bun. HT-350 is the Bucklin's variety with no stars under Liberty's portrait, and it is a classic rarity with perhaps as few as 10 pieces extant, most of which grade AG or Good. The present example is essentially on par with the Dice-Hicks specimen, cataloged as Fine and described as "thoroughly acceptable." Finest known is a toss up between the Ford IV:161 and Emmons:6 pieces, both cataloged as Extremely Fine. Provenance: Ex Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, 2013. Earlier from an unrecorded Spink America sale, lot 188. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
