H. KLUGH on an 1836 Braided Hair large cent. Brunk K-274, Rulau-Unlisted. Host coin Very Fine.

Although unattributed by Brunk, this is the stamp of Henry Klugh a carpenter working in Franklintown, PA in the 1850s to 1870s. Brunk shows six other dates on large cents reported, but not this date, which is a new example. There is also one example found on a Hard Times token of 1837.

From the Steve M. Tompkins Collection. Purchased from Rex Phillips.

Estimate: $ 150
