What The Experts Say...



HT 175, Low 72.
This is the scarcer of the two Brigham varieties and is rated an R6. It is distinguished from the more common R3 Low 73 by the presence of a beaded border outside the circle of the obverse. A scarce token which was missing in the Greiner Sale and appeared holed in Steinberg.

One specimen sold in 1999 by PCAC was pedigreed to Krause, Steinberg, Roper and Garrett, accounting for four of the handful of known auction records. One example was in the PCAC Litman Sale in 2003 but we have no other auction records since the 1941 Dunham sale. Prior to that, the only record located was in the 1907 J.N.T. Levick sale.
