- Undated (1834) Andrew Jackson. HT-6A, Low-4A, DeWitt-CE 1834-27, W-09-25b. Rarity-6. Silvered Brass. Plain Edge. 27 mm. AU-55 (PCGS). Medal alignment. This superior quality example retains nearly full silvering on the reverse, with original toning of pewter gray and rose-olive. The obverse is no less original, with at least 75% of the silvering remaining in pewter gray, with warm golden to deep rose patina. The central high points and open field areas have some light rubbing. Direct lighting calls forth bright antique silver undertones, as well as considerable flash from a satin to softly frosted finish. Boldly to sharply defined overall with a smooth and attractive appearance. Silvered brass examples of this type are scarce, the Dice-Hicks specimen the finest of which we are aware. Its most recent offering in one of our sales was as lot 7006, September 2009 Philadelphia Americana Sale, where it was certified MS-62 by NGC. The Bowers specimen offered here is a superior Choice AU with equally strong technical quality and eye appeal. A significant and important bidding opportunity for advanced collectors of Hard Times tokens or political pieces. Provenance: Ex W. Evans, January 25, 1980; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
