详细说明: 1841 Daniel Webster. HT-23, Low-65, DeWitt-CE 1838-7, W-11-660a. Rarity-4. Copper. Plain Edge. 28 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment. Lovely satin surfaces are toned in a warm blend of autumn-brown and golden-copper. The strike is well centered and sharp to full over all design elements save for the central high points, which are just a tad soft. The reverse is smooth throughout, as is the obverse with the exception of minor roughness in the planchet along the lower border. The quality is solidly Choice Uncirculated and the eye appeal strong. This moderately scarce type is typically seen in VF or EF grades, About Uncirculated pieces are elusive and true Mint State survivors rare. A significant condition rarity, comparable to the Oechsner-Dice-Hicks specimen and marginally finer than the Boyd-Ford piece. HT-23 is known for very high rims, similar to HT-45, another muling featuring the Liberty Head die. Both types were almost certainly produced by the same or, if not, closely allied minters who had at their disposal more sophisticated minting equipment than other Hard Times era coiners. Provenance: Ex New Netherlands, December 8, 1972; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
