- Maryland--Baltimore. Greenwood Park Brewery token dies (Rulau Md-Ba 40) overstruck on an 1852 Braided Hair cent. VG-10 (PCGS). The overstrike is nearly centered and nicely applied, though the reverse is in relief against the plane of the host and has taken on some wear around the edges, indicating that the piece continued to circulate for some time. Smooth chocolate brown with a trace of surface debris on the obverse and a few shallow abrasions. While the brewery tokens, assigned by Rulau to the 1870s, mostly do not have high catalog values in that now 15-year old reference, a large cent counterstamped by these dies is quite rare and was unknown to Brunk. In fact, it was said to be unique by George Fuld who once owned it. The G.B. on the reverse die stands for George Bauernschmidt. A neat Baltimore counterstamp with good provenance. Provenance: Ex Dr. George Fuld; Presidential Coin & Antique Co.'s sale of the Dr. Calvery Emmons Collection, lot 27; Presidential Coin & Antique Co.'s Auction 77, June 2007, lot 192. Auction 77 lot tag included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
