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

详细说明: New York--New York. 1837 Smith's Clock Establishment. HT-311, Low-133, W-NY-940-15a. Rarity-4. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. AU-58 (PCGS). Medal alignment, with a 30-degree or so counterclockwise rotation. Deeply toned in rich olive-charcoal, this is a hard satiny example with no marks of consequence. Direct lighting reveals only faint carbon flecks, most of which are concentrated along the lower left obverse. Sharply defined. This is the variety of Smith's token with the hour hand in the clock pointing to the right foot of the Roman numeral X and the word ESTABLISHMENT straight on the reverse. With Mint State examples of HT-311 rare this Choice AU represents a significant find for the advanced collector. The Ford IV piece was also AU while the Oechsner-Dice-Hicks piece, technically Uncirculated, was microgranular and lightly cleaned. Provenance: Ex Presidential Coin and Antique Company, Inc., October 5, 1974; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
