- New York--Syracuse. Undated (1835-1838) Hiram Judson. HT-345, Low-318, W-NY-1600-10a. Rarity-5. Copper. Reeded Edge. Thin Planchet. 28.5 mm. MS-63 (PCGS). Medal alignment, with a slight clockwise rotation. A wonderfully original piece with marbled copper-gray and golden-brown patina on both sides, some faded remnants of mint color around the peripheries. Light obverse spot at the left border, otherwise the satiny surfaces are hard and smooth. Boldly struck. Both thick and thin planchet variants of Judson's tokens (HT-345 and 346) are conditionally challenging and seldom offered any finer than EF. The Dice-Hicks HT-345 was About Uncirculated, the HT-346 in that sale VF. Our Ford IV and XXIII sales lacked both of these HT numbers. Clearly this lovely Choice Uncirculated token is a noteworthy condition rarity for the variety, and it has legitimate claim to the title of finest known. Provenance: Ex R. Ross, May 1981; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 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.
