- Massachusetts--Boston. Undated (1835-1844) Wm. H. Milton & Co. HT-165, Low-267, W-MA-100-10a. Rarity-4. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. EF-40 (PCGS). Coin alignment. Handsome olive-brown surfaces with faint streaks of sandy-brown and copper-rose bisecting the central reverse. Boldly defined for the assigned grade, there is a touch of softness over the upper left reverse, but all letters in that area are legible. Only a few scattered handling marks are noted from light commercial use. This variety, from the same obverse die as HT-164, features a different reverse with a star before and after the word WAREHOUSE. Bowers (2015) opines that survivors are considerably scarcer than Rulau's Rarity-2 rating would imply, hence his R-4 assessment. A find for the astute collector. Provenance: Ex William Panitch, October 17, 1977; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. The plate token for the variety in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokensby Q. David Bowers.
