1834 Token HT-348 Copper Bucklin's Interest Tables NY, BN MS (PCGS#77151)

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

详细说明: New York--Troy. 1834 Bucklin's Interest Tables. HT-348, Low-77, W-NY-1660-10a. Rarity-5. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. VF-30 (PCGS). 17.3 grams. Coin alignment. Struck on an unusually thick planchet, and also struck trivially off center to 7 o'clock on the obverse, 11 o'clock on the reverse. The lower left obverse and upper left reverse borders are flush to the top of the lettering, peripheral striking detail a bit soft in general, the latter typical of the type. More boldly defined toward the centers with warmly patinated surfaces in blended olive-brown and copper-rose. Small flan flaw at 6 o'clock on the obverse, a few moderate marks along the right border on the same side, both sides a bit rough overall. This is an underrated HT number, and survivors are scarce in an absolute sense and rare above VF. Mr. Ford's was significant as an AU, even if cleaned, as was the Extremely Fine Dice-Hicks specimen. This is a handsome mid grade example whose offering in this sale represents an important bidding opportunity for the astute collector. Provenance: Ex Bowers and Ruddy Galleries, July 24, 1981; Stephen L. Tanenbaum, estate, 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
