1841 Token HT-58 Not One Cent, BN MS (PCGS#77501)

August 2019 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Rosemont, IL

详细说明: 1841 Liberty - Not One Cent. HT-58, Low-69, W-11-300a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plan Edge. 28 mm. MS-64 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment. Dominant gray-brown patina, both sides retain plenty of original mint orange color in the protected areas around many of the design elements. Remnants of original color are most extensive on the reverse, that side also displaying a blush of slightly deeper toning over the upper right. Striking detail is bold to sharp for most design elements, appreciably soft only over the lower right portion of the wreath on the reverse. Satiny and smooth with a pleasingly original appearance. HT-58 is typically represented by EF and AU examples in Hard Times token collections. Mint State pieces are scarce, this piece being comparable to the Dice-Hicks specimen, also cataloged as Choice Uncirculated, and also retaining plenty of original mint color. Another of similar quality is the Robert A. Edson specimen, NGC MS-64 BN, sold as lot 10177 in our Spring 2019 Baltimore Auction. All three of these pieces are finer than the Uncirculated Boyd-Ford example. Provenance: Ex Kimbal; New Netherlands Coin Company, Inc., December 8, 1972; 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.
