1837 Token HT-45 Copper Liberty - Not One Cent, BN MS (PCGS#77498)

August 2019 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Rosemont, IL

详细说明: 1837 Liberty - Not One Cent. HT-45, Low-30, W-11-110a. Rarity-2. Copper. Plain Edge. 28 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment. Here is a superior quality example of this otherwise readily available Hard Times token. Both sides are silky smooth and seemingly undergraded at the assigned level. Surface texture is hard and satiny, and there is subtle semi-reflectivity in the fields. Flashes of pinkish-rose are also evident here and there under a light, although the dominant appearance is of rich autumn and golden-brown patina. Overall fully defined from an expertly centered, well executed strike, there is much to recommend this impressive condition rarity to advanced collectors. The typical survivor of HT-45 is VF, EF or AU. True Mint State examples are rare. This piece has more original color remaining than the Choice Unc Dice-Hicks specimen and, thus, is finer in your cataloger's (JLA's) eyes. Neither of the two Ford Uncirculated retained any original color, either. Clearly this is a superior HT-45, and it is sure to attract strong bids. Provenance: Ex J. Boesl, December 7, 1975; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
