308 1779 Rhode Island Ship Token. Ornament Below Ship. Pewter. Breen 1142 CH EF $6,500.00
1779 Rhode Island Ship Token. Ornament Below Ship. Pewter. Breen 1142. 126.9 grains. Choice Extremely...
126.9 grains. Choice Extremely Fine. Light pearl gray in the open fields, with darker lead-gray tones on the devices and legends. The edges of this coin are slightly rough and corroded, due to the volatile nature of this coin's metal. Rhode Island Ship Tokens are available yet not common in Brass, but are much more challenging in Pewter. Perhaps two to three dozen pieces in this metal...  more
309 Undated [1785] Bar Copper CH VF $4,750.00
Undated [1785] Bar Copper. 83.1 grains. Choice Very Fine. 'USA' monogram and horizontal bars on reverse...
83.1 grains. Choice Very Fine. 'USA' monogram and horizontal bars on reverse are highlighted in light beige-brown against deep chestnut fields that exhibit some light, microscopic granularity. Denticles visible from 7:00 to 2:00 on the obverse and around the correspondending circumference on the reverse. Little is known of the origins of the Bar Coppers other than the 1785 New Jersey Gazette...  more
310 [1792-1794] Kentucky Token. Plain Edge CH UNC $700.00
[1792-1794] Kentucky Token. Plain Edge. 151.3 grains. Choice Uncirculated. Flashy, prooflike fields...
151.3 grains. Choice Uncirculated. Flashy, prooflike fields are of a deep chestnut hue and feature iridescent blue highlights on both sides. This specimen exhibits a bold strike for this sometimes very weakly defined issue, with all states' abbreviations fully readable in the triangle.
311 [1792-1794] Kentucky Token. Plain Edge UNC $650.00

151.1 grains. Uncirculated or better. The example is exceptionally sharp at the centers with full OUR CAUSE IS JUST on the obverse. Pleasing medium brown surfaces add significantly to the coin's overall beauty.
312 [1792-1794] Kentucky Token. Plain Edge EF $250.00

154.2 grains. Extremely Fine, and probably finer in strict terms of wear. Blue-brown surfaces are quite reflective, with just an area of weakness at the centers of both sides.
313 [1792-1794] Kentucky Token. Lettered Edge UNC $3,800.00
[1792-1794] Kentucky Token. Lettered Edge. PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL. Gem Red Uncirculated....
PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL. Gem Red Uncirculated. Here is perhaps one of the finest known Kentucky tokens featuring full, blazing red lustre as if the coin were minted yesterday, and not two centuries ago. Full red Fugio Cents and especially Virginia Halfpennies are encountered with some regularity, but a Kentucky Token with such well preserved surfaces is a rare find indeed....  more
314 [1792-1794] Kentucky Token. Lettered Edge UNC $750.00
[1792-1794] Kentucky Token. Lettered Edge. PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL. 188.0 grains. Uncirculated....
PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL. 188.0 grains. Uncirculated. Fully struck on a hefty planchet, this deep, olive-brown specimen boasts subtle hints of original mint color on both sides. Rotation in a light reveals very subtle hairlines on the obverse that does not affect this coin's intense eye appeal.
315 1794 Franklin Press Token CH AU $600.00
1794 Franklin Press Token. Choice About Uncirculated. Usual blue-brown surfaces are lightly lustrous...
Choice About Uncirculated. Usual blue-brown surfaces are lightly lustrous with just a hint of original mint color embedded in the devices. The central reverse exhibits natural planchet roughness, and there is a linear lamination that bisects the reverse. PCGS AU58.
316 1789 Mott Token. Thin Planchet. Engrailed Edge. Copper. Breen 1025 CH EF $700.00
1789 Mott Token. Thin Planchet. Engrailed Edge. Copper. Breen 1025. 104.5 grains. Choice Extremely...
104.5 grains. Choice Extremely Fine. Golden brown obverse is from the early state of the die without the large die break on the clock, while the reverse is a dark steely brown. The central strike is a bit weak, revealing some of the underlying, inherent roughness of the planchet. A large curved planchet clip is noted at the 12:00 position of both sides. Although this coin appears ''thick''...  more
317 1789 Mott Token. Thin Planchet. Engrailed Edge. Copper. Breen 1025 CH VF $550.00
1789 Mott Token. Thin Planchet. Engrailed Edge. Copper. Breen 1025. 106.7 grains. Choice Very Fine....
106.7 grains. Choice Very Fine. Medium brown with lighter highlights, this specimen is struck from the very late states of both dies, the obverse exhibiting the oversize die break and the reverse displaying advanced die wear. The centers, as usual, are weakly struck, rough and nearly devoid of detail. Both sides are struck slightly off center on this constricted flan.
318 1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Usual Edge. Uncirculated UNC $700.00
1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Usual Edge. Uncirculated, or virtually so. 146.5 grains. Richly lustrous,...
- or virtually so. 146.5 grains. Richly lustrous, ruddy brown surfaces exhibit a touch of wear to the high points of the devices. Here is a charming survivor of this early New York City token.
319 1796 Castorland Medal. Silver AU $7,000.00
1796 Castorland Medal. Silver, 32.8 x 31.9mm, 1.4mm thick, 192.1 grains. About Uncirculated or finer....
32.8 x 31.9mm, 1.4mm thick, 192.1 grains. About Uncirculated or finer. This fascinating piece was struck from the original dies and shows faint die rust. The thin planchet with coarsely reeded edge identifies a later strike employing the original dies. This is not the later Paris Mint issue made with copy dies but is a direct link with this historic French settlement in northern New...  more
