Merchant advertising token Circa 1850's, Loder & Company Dry Goods Merchants of New York, M-NY-467. Silvered Brass, Choice Uncirculated, certified NGC MS-64. A bright example, one tiny Obverse stain likely all keeping it from certifying a Gem. Two MS-64 shown in the NGC Census, however NGC's population statistics for this series must be taken with a grain of salt. They seem to have certified a number of pieces prior to establishing the Census, thus not all certified pieces are listed. For instance, in this case I was able to trace 2 other sales of unique MS-64 examples, those two other tokens not being shown in the Population. One MS-65 and two MS-67 higher, so this example is at the distal end of the Condition Census for the variety (ignore the “Pop Top” sticker shown in the slab image, as it is an old one). For reference, an MS-63 example sold at Heritage 9/2017 for $420 (ex-Virgil Brand); one of the MS-64 examples sold at $253, however that was a 2007 sale so not terribly relevant today. While my price may be seen as being a bit speculative, I believe this specimen stands on its own merits. Due to value this will require Insured shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
