1837 "Not One Cent" HT-42 / Low-28, R-2, Raw AU @ "SALE PENDING" SHIPPED.
Although rated nominally as a R-2 on the rarity scale, this variety is excessively scarce above the commonly found VG condition. Since 2005 only 3 higher end AU/BU examples have come to market within major collections which crossed the podiums of Stacks and Heritage. All of the other Not One Cent types are struck by Scovill & Company in Waterford, CT. This is the only variety struck by John Gibbs in Belleville, NJ. This example is well struck for the variety which is generally soft on the hair bun and is extremely eye appealing in hand with mellowed medium brown surfaces. Some obverse rub and minimal field chatter is present from minor circulation, however the reverse wreath full leaves details are crisp. Priced at about the same as any commonly federal struck large cent in the same condition, yet easily a 100 times scarcer.
1825 Peale's Museum, HT-303/ Low-269 / Miller NY-632, R-6, XF Details / NET VF @ "SALE PENDING" SHIPPED.
Large thick 34.5 mm copper planchet, struck from a broken obverse die as usual. The date on the obverse only symbolizes the date of establishment and this token was used during the Hard Times Era as an entrance pass which sold for $10.00 seasonally. Although this XF example has a lot of problems, so do most all of the finest in XF or AU. Some History: Rubens Peale ran his museum in the Parthenon Building across from the City Hall from 1825 until he sold out to P.T. Barnum in 1843. Peale's Museum was located at 252 Broadway, close to City Hall in Manhattan. The Museum featured an Egyptian mummy and many other historical artifacts to entertain the locals and tourists. These large entrance tokens were occasionally taken home by souvenir hunters, but most were turned in for the price of admission. Rubens Peale came from an important family, his father was the famous painter Charles Wilson Peale, and his brother Franklin Peale who became the Chief Coiner at the Philadelphia Mint. (For scale a Silver $1 is 38.1 mm in diameter)
1833 Ephraim A. Hathaway, Providence, RI, HT-428 / Low-74, Nice Eye Appealing CH AU @ "SALE PENDING" SHIPPED.
This pictorial Coal Dealer hard times era merchant store card is exceptionally nice for the issue with smooth lustrous chocolate brown copper surfaces and no spots. It briefly circulated and has very minor handling marks and the letters exhibit only slight debris. Although nominally rated as an R-1 this Hard Times Token variety is tough to locate above circulated VF. It is normally encountered with hard surfaces and a somewhat wood grained appearance due to planchet mixture impurities. A scarce token and this one has really great in hand eye appeal.
1847/7 $5 Liberty PCGS AU55 MPD = Asking $2,995.00 Shipped.
Breen 6571 1847 Blundered Date, extra 7 in border below space between 47 in the date. Fully lustrous original unmolested delicious orange proof like surfaces, never scrubbed, baking soda'd, dipped, iodine'd, or puttied like so many examples in this series. A scarce variety as it's the furthest dropped digit in any US coin series and missing from many major $5 Lib collections and I only recall Virgil Brand having had a VF20 example. This is not the typical 47/7 variety which is just doubling of the tip of the 7 as this is the MPD (Misplaced Date) variety with a 7 dropped way south. This variety was missing from all of the following major $5 Liberty collections - Garrett, Eliasberg, Bass, Miles, Milas, although Virgil Brand did have a VF example. Second finest known as there is a bright yellow PCGS MS63 which is valued at $15K. This is the PCGS Coinfacts plate coin for the variety. Provenance wise I purchased this directly from Dr. Samuel Berngard after he sold his collection of superb Pioneer and Territorial gold coins through Stack's and was mentioned he acquired this from dealer Edward Milas.
1834 Running Boar HT-9, ICG MS63RB = Asking $695.00 Shipped.
Extremely early die stage, a fully struck example with the shoulder of every single letter being razor sharp. Normally encountered with mushy mid die stage or late re cut die stage. Very lustrous with mint red and lovely blue patina. Conservatively graded and nicer then most all NGC MS64's. An extremely tough issue to locate with any trace Mint Red.
1837 Illustrious Predecessor, HT-32 / Low 18, R-2, RAW AU = Asking $195.00 Shipped.
A really tough Illustrious Predecessor variety to locate well struck on the high points and with any trace luster as they where struck with rusted dies. Although just listed as a R-2 it's very underrated and far less common then the redesigned HT-33/Low 19 and HT-34/Low20 that followed which show more detail. This example has no die erosion issues and is a smooth glossy brown with trace mint red still present and issue free rims.
1837 Illustrious Predecessor HT-33 / Low-19, R-1, NGC MS65BN = ASKING $795.00 SHIPPED.
A tough variety to locate with any trace red as only the HT-34 / Low-20 Illustrious Predecessors is at times encountered in RB. This example is very lustrous with lovely deep blue patina. It does have 10% trace red mint color in the periphery and devices of on both the obverse and reverse. Far nicer then my images as it's total eye candy when examined and rotated under a light source.

1836 R&W Robinson HT-155, R-1, ICG MS63RB = Asking $695.00 Shipped.
Very lustrous with lovely mint red and deep blue patina. Tough to locate with mint red and conservatively graded and nicer then most all NGC MS64's.
1825 Peale's Museum, HT-303/ Low-269 / Miller NY-632, R-6, VF Details = Asking $595.00 Shipped.
Large thick 34.5 mm copper planchet, struck from a broken obverse die as usual. The date on the obverse only symbolizes the date of establishment and this token was used during the Hard Times Era as an entrance pass which sold for $10.00 seasonally. Although this VF example has a lot of problems, so do most all of the finest in XF or AU.

Peac.ock Jewelers HTM-19, R-2, NGC MS63BN = Asking "SALE PENDING" Shipped.
Tough to locate in UNC as only 5 have been graded in all grades. This lovely example has some trace mint red and intense blue patina which is extremely eye appealing. The reverse is fully proof like on this second highest graded by NGC. Far more impressive in hand as this is another eye candy example that explodes when viewed under a light source.
1859 S.H. BLACK, ELECTROTYPER, M-NY-63, NGC XF40BN – ASKING $195.00 SHIPPED.
Obverse: S.H. BLACK, ELECTROTYPER & GILDER around 1859 below. Reverse:. MEDALS, CARDS & C. TO ORDER around central wreath, 410 / BROADWAY / N.Y. on three lines within. 29mm Diameter, Plain edge. Head of Liberty to left and remarkably similar in appearance to the federal large cents of 1839-1857. Medium chocolate brown with deeper reddish highlights. Copper on lead electrotype. Portions of the underlying lead can be seen on the high points due to circulation. However all copper plate beyond is intact and this example far exceeds any and all commonly seen which are sometimes completely bare showing just the lead host. This token, made only in electrotype form (and not a copy of a struck token), was very well known in its era, indeed famous in numismatic circles. The same firm also made interesting electrotype novelties, such as plaques and platters incorporating designs taken from medals of George Washington and elsewhere, true to form as they were put in a matrix and electrotyped from that matrix. Samuel Black was a popular electrotyper before the Civil War. His store cards seems to be an attempt to keep the large cent series alive as the government ceased production of the large cents in 1857, with Black issuing his tokens each year of 1858 thru 1861. His tokens were made of lead with an electrolytically fused layer of copper. These tokens were a demonstration of his trade. The tokens of these 4 years provide an trail of the 5 addresses and his brief partnership with Friend. His business disappears from the New York directories after 1861. Wrongly designated by NGC as M-NY-61 and this particular variety was missing in the Q David Bowers collection.

1825 Peale's Museum, HT-303/ Low-269 / Miller NY-632, R-6, XF Details / NET VF @ "SALE PENDING" SHIPPED.

1833 Ephraim A. Hathaway, Providence, RI, HT-428 / Low-74, Nice Eye Appealing CH AU @ "SALE PENDING" SHIPPED.
This pictorial Coal Dealer hard times era merchant store card is exceptionally nice for the issue with smooth lustrous chocolate brown copper surfaces and no spots. It briefly circulated and has very minor handling marks and the letters exhibit only slight debris. Although nominally rated as an R-1 this Hard Times Token variety is tough to locate above circulated VF. It is normally encountered with hard surfaces and a somewhat wood grained appearance due to planchet mixture impurities. A scarce token and this one has really great in hand eye appeal.
1847/7 $5 Liberty PCGS AU55 MPD = Asking $2,995.00 Shipped.
Breen 6571 1847 Blundered Date, extra 7 in border below space between 47 in the date. Fully lustrous original unmolested delicious orange proof like surfaces, never scrubbed, baking soda'd, dipped, iodine'd, or puttied like so many examples in this series. A scarce variety as it's the furthest dropped digit in any US coin series and missing from many major $5 Lib collections and I only recall Virgil Brand having had a VF20 example. This is not the typical 47/7 variety which is just doubling of the tip of the 7 as this is the MPD (Misplaced Date) variety with a 7 dropped way south. This variety was missing from all of the following major $5 Liberty collections - Garrett, Eliasberg, Bass, Miles, Milas, although Virgil Brand did have a VF example. Second finest known as there is a bright yellow PCGS MS63 which is valued at $15K. This is the PCGS Coinfacts plate coin for the variety. Provenance wise I purchased this directly from Dr. Samuel Berngard after he sold his collection of superb Pioneer and Territorial gold coins through Stack's and was mentioned he acquired this from dealer Edward Milas.
1834 Running Boar HT-9, ICG MS63RB = Asking $695.00 Shipped.
Extremely early die stage, a fully struck example with the shoulder of every single letter being razor sharp. Normally encountered with mushy mid die stage or late re cut die stage. Very lustrous with mint red and lovely blue patina. Conservatively graded and nicer then most all NGC MS64's. An extremely tough issue to locate with any trace Mint Red.
1837 Illustrious Predecessor, HT-32 / Low 18, R-2, RAW AU = Asking $195.00 Shipped.
A really tough Illustrious Predecessor variety to locate well struck on the high points and with any trace luster as they where struck with rusted dies. Although just listed as a R-2 it's very underrated and far less common then the redesigned HT-33/Low 19 and HT-34/Low20 that followed which show more detail. This example has no die erosion issues and is a smooth glossy brown with trace mint red still present and issue free rims.
1837 Illustrious Predecessor HT-33 / Low-19, R-1, NGC MS65BN = ASKING $795.00 SHIPPED.
A tough variety to locate with any trace red as only the HT-34 / Low-20 Illustrious Predecessors is at times encountered in RB. This example is very lustrous with lovely deep blue patina. It does have 10% trace red mint color in the periphery and devices of on both the obverse and reverse. Far nicer then my images as it's total eye candy when examined and rotated under a light source.

Tough to locate in UNC as only 5 have been graded in all grades. This lovely example has some trace mint red and intense blue patina which is extremely eye appealing.

1859 S.H. BLACK, ELECTROTYPER, M-NY-63, NGC XF40BN – ASKING $195.00 SHIPPED.
Obverse: S.H. BLACK, ELECTROTYPER & GILDER around 1859 below. Reverse:. MEDALS, CARDS & C. TO ORDER around central wreath, 410 / BROADWAY / N.Y. on three lines within. 29mm Diameter, Plain edge.
