(NY)-NYC-ST-160. 1940, 1945, 1946 or 1948, RD-O,32mm. [small star on each side of the cent] Good Cheer and Food/ The Stork Club N.Y.\ [stork on each side facing the cent] Heads to Earn/ Hearts to Spend. There is nothing above the cent, which is the short side on this off center piece. The piece is denticled and beaded, although all the beads did not always strike up. $16.00
This is the first Stork Club piece that needed to say it was from New York. This piece often comes with a very original red uncirculated cent. My thinking is that many pieces were struck but never circulated, so that a hoard of uncirculated pieces was available for collectors. This is the same thing that happened to many of the Fankhauser encased and also why there are so many uncirculated Fankhausers available today.
