1837 Token HT-66 Copper May 10th, RB MS (PCGS#78003)

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

详细说明: 1837 May Tenth. HT-66, Low-47, W-11-320a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. 28 mm. MS-65 RB (PCGS). Coin alignment. This is a phenomenal example of an otherwise readily available HT number. The surfaces exhibit a nearly 50-50 mix of original mint orange color and iridescent gray-brown patina. Sharply struck apart from a touch of softness along the lower obverse and upper reverse borders. A satiny texture and freedom from even trivial distractions enhance this piece's appeal. This is easily the nicest HT-66 that we have ever offered, finer than (among others) the Edson Collection specimen, NGC MS-64 BN, Spring 2019 Baltimore, lot 10178, and the identically certified piece that sold as lot 4090 in our September 2013 Philadelphia Americana Sale. The primary Dice-Hicks specimen is a close contender to this quality wise, but is struck with medal alignment and, thus, technically HT-66A. Mr. Ford's was a cleaned Unc, although not designated as to die alignment. Among the finest known for HT-66 with coin alignment, this lovely Gem is sure to find way into another highly regarded cabinet. Provenance: Ex Richard Gross; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
