- New York--Troy. Undated (1835) N. Starbuck & Son. HT-369, Low-284A, W-NY-1740-40a, Wood-25. Rarity-7. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. Fine-15 (PCGS). Coin alignment, with an approximately 30-degree rotation clockwise. Typical strike for this rare and challenging number, only a few of the design elements are outlined or otherwise discernible on both sides. The prominent obverse break is present in the left obverse field. Dominant golden-brown patina with splashes of darker reddish-russet that are associated with areas of light roughness. There are no marks of consequence. This is a rare and intriguing type, struck from the mostly defaced reverse die of N. Starbuck & Son muled with the crudely executed obverse die of a Canadian Blacksmith token, Wood-25. Missing from Steinberg and Dice-Hicks, among a host of other significant Hard Times offerings, although Mr. Ford had two of these that we cataloged as Fine and Very Good in our August 2013 Ford XXIII sale. The Rulau Hard Times token reference has a line drawing to illustrate this number. Provenance: Ex M.S. Rare Coins, October 25, 1988; Jeffrey Hoare; October 1989; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Also described as "The Courteau, Mabbott specimen; Everingham Sale, Lot 2465" on the collector tag that accompanies this lot. The plate token for the variety in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokensby Q. David Bowers. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
