- Undated (1834) William Seward. HT-28, Low-15, DeWitt-CE 1834-5, W-10-112b. Rarity-3. Brass. Plain Edge. 27 mm. MS-64 (PCGS). Coin alignment. An attractive, fully Choice example with glints of salmon pink undertoning to otherwise brassy-olive surfaces. Struck a bit tight to the lower left reverse border, although the obverse is well centered and both sides are overall sharply defined with just a touch of softness in the center of the reverse. Satin to modestly semi-reflective in finish, a few faint carbon spots over the lower left obverse and upper right reverse are all that seem to preclude an even higher grade. With most examples of this type grading VF to AU, this outstanding near-Gem is a noteworthy condition rarity. Finer than both the primary Boyd-Ford and Dice-Hicks specimens, and destined for another highly regarded Hard Times cabinet. Provenance: Ex R. Slawsky, February 17, 1977; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
