- New Jersey--Belleville. Undated (1841) J. Gibbs, Manufacturer. HT-202, Low-150, W-NJ-120-10a. Rarity-6. Copper. Plain Edge. 27.3 mm. AU-53 (PCGS). Coin alignment, the reverse rotated a few degrees clockwise. That side of the token is well centered on the planchet with all major design elements bold and the finer detail in the ship's sails very sharp. Obverse impression drawn trivially to 6 o'clock with the lower border off the flan, yet all other features on that side bold. A satiny and hard piece, the surfaces display blended steel-brown and medium copper patina, scattered handling marks to both sides. This is a very scarce HT number with most survivors grading VF or lower. Indeed, the Dice-Hicks specimen was cataloged as Choice Very Fine. About Uncirculated examples, as here, are rare, while the primary Ford piece in Choice Uncirculated is remarkable, and certainly among the finest known. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier ex Presidential Coin and Antique Co., Inc., 1978 ANA Convention; Stephen L. Tanenbaum, estate, November 2013.
