Description
1841 Daniel Webster. HT-20A, Low-62A, DeWitt-CE 1838-12, W-11-630f. Rarity-7. Silver. Plain Edge. Fine-15 (NGC).
29 mm. Moderately to heavily worn, the upper obverse field (mounted as the reverse in the NGC holder) is nearly smooth, but the attribution is undeniable. The surfaces are handsome light pewter gray with a few faint scratches at left obverse, although these will require magnification to discern. HT-20A is a classic rarity, although interestingly most of the 12 or so specimens extant are in high grades. This type, along with HT-33A (also a silver striking), appears to have been produced for Mr. Henry Davenport. Both types made their first appearance in a numismatic auction in W. Elliott Woodward's sale of the McCoy Collection in 1864, where Woodward noted the Davenport origin.
