- Massachusetts--Boston. Undated (1835) Alfred D. Willard. HT-171, Low-328, W-MA-160-10a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. MS-65 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment. Exquisite glossy-copper surfaces offer iridescent blue-gray undertones and blushes of original rose and apricot. Satin to semi-reflective in finish, a razor sharp strike and smooth Gem appearance round out an impressive list of attributes for this outstanding token. This otherwise available HT number is scarce even in low end Mint State. The present example is a notable condition rarity and undoubtedly among the finest obtainable. Superior to the primary Dice-Hicks specimen (which is also the Bowers plate token for the variety), that piece was cataloged as Choice Uncirculated, yet with a couple of noticeable spots on the obverse. Both of our offerings of the Ford Hard Times tokens lacked this number. Provenance: Ex A.R.E., June 1996; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
