The uniqueA. Loomis HT-381C overstruck on an 1837 large cent. Many of the peripheral elements from the undertype are evident around the peripheries of the primary strike, the obverse retaining traces of most of the large cent stars and, at the upper border of the token, faint remnants of the digits 37 in the date. In addition to portions of the wreath and peripheral lettering, much of the denomination ONE CENT from the undertype is plainly evident over and around the barrel in the center of the token's reverse design. The impression from the token dies is well centered with all but a few peripheral features bold. Displaying deep antique copper patina throughout, the surfaces have a hard satin texture that is free of readily evident blemishes. A highly significant offering for advanced Hard Times token collectors. Provenance: Ex our (Bowers and Ruddy's) Chesterfield Collection sale, April 1981, lot 4394; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, October 2013. The plate token for the variety in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokensby Q. David Bowers. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
