Lot Description

"1789" Mott Token. Breen-1021. Thin Planchet. Plain Edge. EF-45 (PCGS). 130.5 grains. Attractive deep golden-tan surfaces reveal no marks of consequence to the unaided eye. Die alignment 270 degrees, eagle's head points to 3 o'clock when the coin is turned on its <em>horizontal </em>axis. Evenly centered and sharply struck, the reverse eagle about as bold as ever encountered for the issue. Choice throughout.
