New York, New York. 1867 Olympic Theatre, Treasure Trove. Bowers NY-7020. Silvered brass. 38 mm. About Uncirculated.,Obverse: Liberty Seated silver dollar motif. Reverse: Rose card printed in black ink with advertisement in eight lines, TREASURE TROVE. / A / NEW YORK / STORY / OF / SOME BURIED GOLD, / AT THE / OLYMPIC THEATRE. Most of the original silvering remains, though two streaks of copper-toned patina are seen across the surface. These seem to be a patina anomaly, and not damage of any kind. The reverse card has good color and just a bit of light handling, but no losses. The Bowers plate piece.<p>The Olympic Theatre was located at 622 Broadway near Bleecker Street in New York City. Unfortunately for the players, Treasure Trove met with at least one rather negative review. From <em>Dwights Journal of Music</em>, July 6, 1867,<p>"Thoughtful observers of the plays that are running must be unanimous in opinion that they contain but very little dramatic merit.

A few odds and ends of incident, from Faust, Manfred, Der Freischütz, etc., loosely knit together, afford occasions for the display of ballet dancers and scenery.
