J.N.T. Levick is one of the most famous of all late 19th and early 20th century coin collectors and dealers. Born in 1828, he became a broker in government securities and banking and amassed a fortune. He soon became interested in rare coins and especially tokens, and was instrumental in the foundation of the American Numismatic Association and the American Numismatic Society. He loved his tokens and had a series of his own struck by George H. Lovett. He was one of the earliest serious collectors of Hard Times tokens and his 1870 catalogue of 56 types served as the basis for Low's later analysis of the series. He died in 1908, a lifelong smoker.
