AM I NOT A MAN AND A BROTHER TOKEN PEDIGREES

With regard to the Low-54a in last week’s E-Sylum, there are 4 known pieces.

I have been trying to sort some of the pedigree information on these.

Most of what is available is from Bowers & Merena’s 3/92 sale.

Eric Newman purchased that coin ex Hudson collection where it appeared as lot 45 with a pedigree listed as ex Lighthouse in the 1800s and later Ricard.

The Ford piece, lot 118 is Stacks June 2004 sale was described as being ex Hillyer Ryder and Boyd prior to Ford and is apparently ex lot 2177 in Elder’s 2/1920 sale.

The Bowers sale writeup does not match the Stack’s pedigree unless Raymond sold it to Ryder.

The Bowers sale also gives a pedigree to the discovery coin ex Miller collection.

Finally, the Bowers sale notes lot 563 in Lyman Low’s 12/20/1918 sale as a possible 4th example.

What the cataloger did not know was that it was purchased by Virgil Brand for $125 and entered into the Brand journal as #90750. It was described as the 2nd piece known at the time.

The Brand piece may be the newly discovered coin that Heritage sold in their September 2019 sale.

Does anyone know if the pedigree information in these earlier catalogs is correct ?
