1837 Low-49, HT-73 Half Cent Token, MS64 Brown
The Only Hard Times Half Cent Token
1837 Half Cent Token, Low-49, HT-73, W. 11-710a, R.1, MS64 Brown
NGC. Our EAC grade MS60. The 1837 half cent tokens did
not originate at the Philadelphia Mint. They are identified as
products of dies engraved by Edward Hulseman, and were struck at
the private Scovill Mint of Waterbury, Connecticut. These pieces
are often collected as part of the half cent series for two
important reasons: 1. The U.S. Mint did not produce any half cents
dated 1837. 2. This is the only Hard Times token that carries a
half cent denomination. Lustrous chocolate-brown surfaces display
faint emerald overtones.Ex: F.C.C. Boyd; Walter Breen Collection; Jon Hanson (9/23/1967); Donald G. Partrick.
