    Description

    NGC authenticated and graded MS 64 BN.
    Lustrous chocolate-brown with golden olive overtones. Attractive surfaces.
    The 1837 half cent tokens did not originate at the Philadelphia Mint. Produced from dies engraved by Edward Hulseman, and were struck at the private Scovill Mint of Waterbury, Connecticut. Often collected as part of the half cent series for two important reasons; The U.S. Mint did not produce any half cents dated 1837, and this is the only Hard Times token that carries a half cent denomination.
    Ex: F.C.C. Boyd; Walter Breen Collection; Jon Hanson (9/23/1967); Donald G. Partrick.
