| HT 464 | Low 139 | AU 55 | R-6 |
Great example of this very rare piece. Joe Levine thinks SSB might be the initials of a New York inn keeper. Rulau suggests they stand for Scovill's Superior Buttons. This is the only Low token without a firm location.
Ex. Richard Gross Collection.
| HT 488 | MS 61 | R-6 |
Original color and quite nice. This very rare token is exceptional in this grade.
Obv: Two carbon toning spots.
Rev: Some weakness in strike in center as is usual for this piece.
Ex. Richard Gross Collection.
| HT 545 | AU 53 BN | R-8 |
Rev: HALF CENT is weak due to obverse counterstamp indentation, as expected.
Slightly porous surfaces. This very scarce token is missing from most advanced collections.
