- New York--New York. Undated (1832-1834) C.H. Webb, Congress Hall. HT-337A, Low-392A, W-NY-1060-10b. Rarity-5. Brass. Plain Edge. 26.2 mm. AU-55 (NGC). Medal alignment, with a approximately 45-degree clockwise offset. Dominant brassy-gold patina with flint gray outlines to many of the design elements. Lightly struck in isolated border areas, although all devices are boldly to sharply defined. A hard satin texture and overall smooth appearance in hand further enhance the appeal of this attractive Choice AU. The scarce brass counterpart to Webb's most plentiful token type (HT-337), HT-337A was missing from our August 2019 offering of the Q. David Bowers Reference Collection of Hard Times Tokens. This is a conditionally rare survivor, finer than the typical VF or EF example in numismatic hands. Provenance: From the Aim High Collection. Click here for certification details from NGC.
