- Massachusetts--New Bedford. 1833 Francis L. Brigham. HT-175, Low-72, W-MA-280-15a. Rarity-5. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment. Nice red and brown obverse, mostly brown on the back. Surfaces generally hard and tight, some light marks, obverse die broken diagonally across. Sharply struck. HT-175 is the scarcer of the two Brigham token types; examples are far more elusive than those of HT-176 (Rarity-2). With so much mint color remaining this must be considered rare. Cheapside, on the east side of Market Square, was a long building housing a number of shops. Brigham was an entrepreneur, and seemingly abandoning the dry goods trade, took up the practice of dentistry (which in the 1830s required no special license; barbers often engaged in this profession). Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) Andrew S. Alexander Collection sale, November 1996, lot 2228; our (Stack's) sale of the Collections of James E. Dice & M. Lamar Hicks, July 2008, lot 3090. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
