New York--Troy. 1834 Bucklin's Interest Tables. HT-349, Low-89, W-NY-1660-15a. Rarity-5. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.2 mm. VF-30 (PCGS). Coin alignment, offset approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise. Blended golden-brown and medium copper patina, the surfaces are satiny and hard with appreciable gloss. Typical strike for this challenging HT number, the obverse soft over Liberty's portrait and along the lower left border, the reverse soft over the upper right with the final two digits in the date virtually absent. Scattered handling marks are consistent with the assigned grade. The dies for this type were executed in shallow relief, and examples acquired significant wear after even a relatively short stint in circulation. Bowers (2015) notes: "Good and VG are typical grades, but with patience a VF example can be found." This significant mid grade survivor is comparable in almost every way to the Dice-Hicks specimen, certified NGC VF-30 BN when it appeared in our Philadelphia Americana Sale of September 2009. Nicer than all four (!) examples owned by Mr. Ford, the finest of which was a granular VF. Provenance: Ex Donald Miller Collection; Tilden Collection; our (Stack's) sale of the Property of the Estate of Herbert M. Oechsner, September 1988, lot 515; 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. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
