Undated (1834) William Seward. HT-26, Low-13, DeWitt-CE 1834-8, W-10-120b. Rarity-4. Brass. Plain Edge. 27 mm. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS).Coin alignment. Glossy brassy-gold surfaces retain abundant eye appeal -- most would not even notice the cleaning. Obverse spot noted beneath the letter D in SEWARD, another on the reverse at the letter Y in COUNTRY. All in all, a pleasing example of this popular political related to the New York gubernatorial election of 1834, which Seward lost. He has become a hero today in view of Alaskan statehood.From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merenas) sale of the Gilbert G. Steinberg Collection, November 2002, lot 5163. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
