- Undated (1834) William Seward. HT-27A, Low-14A, DeWitt-CE 1834-7, W-10-130b. Rarity-5. Silvered Brass. Plain Edge. 27 mm. MS-63 (PCGS). Coin alignment. A beautiful piece that displays subtle rose and olive-gold highlights on otherwise silver gray surfaces. The lower left reverse border is tight to the top of the letters, the obverse better centered. Both sides have a sharp strike that comes up just a bit short in the centers. Lustrous surfaces are satiny, smooth, and seemingly undergraded at the MS-63 level. Remarkable for this scarce type, our Ford IV sale included seven (!) examples that ranged in grade from Choice Uncirculated to Choice About Uncirculated. This is the second finest Ford piece, comparable to the Dice-Hicks example also cataloged as Choice Uncirculated. Another of similar quality is the Oechsner specimen, also attractive Choice Unc. A highlight of this fabulous collection of Hard Times pieces, and sure to sell for a strong premium. Provenance: Ex Q. David Bowers, August 12, 1958; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part IV, June 2004, lot 50. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
