1796 Castorland Jeton. Silver. Original dies. Unmarked reeded edge. Choice Very Fine. 228.4 gns. Both sides are pale silver gray in color. There are traces of iridescent champagne and pale blue toning around the peripheries. The surfaces are somewhat rough and granular in places and the centers are a trifle soft, essentially as expected for a piece in this grade. Original edge type, applied by a Castaing machine. Die rust visible on the sap pot's handle.
Ex Jean Vinchon on April 10, 1969.
