Low-136, HT-315 variety, 1837 Smith’s Clock of New York issue.

This is about the coolest design and catchiest motto in the Hard Times Token series, and whenever a nice, original piece comes along, we buy it.  Which is not very often.

A lot of these have been ruined by conservation, and others were ugly to begin with. But this one is our kind of coin (or token), with lovely original surfaces and ample mint red in the devices.

Ex Stack’s June 2004 sale of the John J. Ford Collection, lot #272 at $373.75; earlier ex Donald Miller; earlier ex Joseph Barnett.
