- New York--Troy. Undated (1835) N. Starbuck & Son. HT-366, Low-156, W-NY-1740-10a. Rarity-5+. Copper. Plain Edge. 28 mm. EF-45 (PCGS). Struck offset from medal alignment by 90 degrees clockwise. Lightly struck at the left obverse and upper reverse borders, design elements in other areas are suitably bold, although the central high points are a bit blunt due to wear. The surfaces are hard and satiny with plenty of gloss, both sides also have attractive toning in a blend of vivid crimson-copper and more reserved olive-brown. Minor planchet roughness in the aforementioned lightly struck peripheral areas, a few scattered marks from handling. The typical HT-366 in collectors' hands grades no finer than VF. A superior Choice EF, the present example is nearly comparable to the Dice-Hicks specimen cataloged as About Uncirculated. Contenders for finest known are the Steinberg and Boyd-Ford examples, the former cataloged alternatively as Brilliant Uncirculated and "Mint State or nearly so" and the latter as Choice About Uncirculated. Provenance: Ex Dorge, July 1, 1974; 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.
