- Massachusetts--Boston. Undated (1835-1844) Wm. H. Milton & Co. HT-164, Low-266, W-MA-100-05a. Rarity-2. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Medal alignment. A warmly patinated, gray-brown example that retains approximately 30% of the original mint color, most of which is concentrated around the peripheries. Lively satin luster throughout with a sharp strike and only a few light, well scattered carbon spots precluding an even higher numeric grade. Superior quality for a type that is underrated in Mint State, most survivors are VF or EF. About equal to the impressive Dice-Hicks specimen, cataloged as Choice Uncirculated, and nearly comparable to the Ford specimen, NGC-certified MS-64 BN as of our August 2013 offering. Provenance: Ex our (Bowers and Ruddy's) George P. Hetrich Collection sale, January 1982, lot 3057; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. The plate token for the variety in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokens by Q. David Bowers. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
