- Undated (1834) Andrew Jackson. HT-5, Low-3, DeWitt-CE 1834-29, W-09-35b. Rarity-3. Brass. Plain Edge. 27 mm. AU-58 (PCGS). Medal alignment. This is a beautiful example with dominant antique brass patina to both sides, and light marbling of olive-gray on the reverse. Satiny surfaces have only a few faint, easily overlooked spots. Sharply defined overall, the detail wanes just a bit at the high point of Jackson's portrait and over the upper right reverse; an area of original planchet roughness remains on the latter side around the letters OR in GLORIOUS. This is one of the more available Jackson types in the Hard Times token series, although the typically offered example falls into the VF to low end AU grade range. The Bowers specimen offered here is nearly on par with the Dice-Hicks specimen, graded Choice About Uncirculated in our (Stack's) July 2008 sale, lot 3003, but subsequently certified MS-61 by NGC and appearing as lot 77 in our September 2013 Philadelphia Americana Sale. Ford owned four of these, none of which were really superior to this impressive piece. Provenance: Ex R. Slawsky, March 17, 1977; 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 from earlier owner with (partially incorrect) attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
