FSH: Finest NGC Graded HT-M23 C.D. Peacock Jewelers "Time Is Money" Token

[BROADSTRUCK]

1837 C.D. Peacock Jewelers, "Time Is Money", Chicago, Illinois, HT-M23 / Low-368, Copper, 30.6mm Diameter, Plain edge, NGC MS63BN

 

Although actually struck circa 1900-1906 these are part of the Hard Times Token series since Lyman Low included them in his 1906 supplement on the series. The 1837 date on the obverse reflects the year of establishment. This is the scarcer earlier variety on which the high relief peacock's breast feathers did not fully strike up. The more commonly encountered HT-M19 was issued later struck from a completely different obverse die featuring a flat peacock design. I've sold numerous slabbed HT-M19's over the years however this is the first of this design. Dice/Hicks in 30 years forming their Hard Times Token collection only had a AU which was also previously in the Robert Vlack & Chester Krause collections. Glancing at NGC's population report this is the top pop of 5 total in all grades with none in RB. The HT-M23's all have heavy die polish lines and when encountered are usually not attractive. The example however is exceptional with lovely patina with absolutely no trace rub or rounding on the reverse dial or clock hands.
