Owner's Description

Purchased on 7/14/2011. There are three versions of this token. 1) The D&H-40 (scarce) is dated 1796. 2) The D&H-41 (rare) is dated 1797 and lacks the stars before and after the legend. 3) The D&H-42 (common) is also dated 1797 and has two stars before and after the legend. This particular token is the D&H-42 version, even though NGC has incorrectly attributed it as the D&H-41 type. This token exhibits a very strong strike, with the horse and cart side having only the slightest amount of "gunk" at the 7 o'clock position between the rungs of the cart wheel. The horse image itself is stunningly beautiful and sharp. The coin side featuring "Trades Hall" does not exhibit the relatively common rim cuds for this variety, and the strike is crisp. All in all, a very visually appealing piece.
