- New York--New York. Undated (1836-1837) Wm. G. Jones. HT-285A, Low-260, W-NY-660-10b. Rarity-6. Gilt Brass. Reeded Edge. 26.5 mm. MS-64 (PCGS). Medal alignment. A beautiful near-Gem, with both sides featuring bright golden-yellow patina. Blushes of iridescent rose and cobalt blue hug the reverse periphery and enhance already strong eye appeal. The surfaces are prooflike with intense reflectivity evident under a light. Fully struck with only wispy handling marks precluding an even higher grade. This is an exceptional variant of Wm. G. Jones' brass token, one of the pieces that Bowers (2015) states were gilt. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first gilt brass example of this HT number that we have offered. As a beautiful MS-64 it rivals the non-gilt Ford XXIII specimen in NGC MS-64 as the finest brass striking from these dies that we have brought to auction in recent years. A find for advanced Hard Times token enthusiasts. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
