Lot Description

Undated (Circa 1694) London Elephant Token. Hodder 2-B, W-12040. GOD PRESERVE LONDON. Thick Planchet. EF-40 (PCGS). 218.0 grains. Chocolate brown surfaces smooth and free of unsightly marks or blemishes that attract the unaided eye. The devices are sharp and the eye appeal is substantial for the grade. Reverse die with dagger in upper left quadrant and no diagonals on the shield. Choice and appealing. Ted Craige paid $135 for this specimen -- this attractive coin should realize substantially more than that when it crosses the auction block.
