Lot Description

Undated (ca. 1828) American Plantations Token, or 1/24 Part Real. Restrike. Newman 5-D, W-1160. Rarity-4+. AU-55 (PCGS). A second example of this popular type variety within the American Plantations token series, this is a handsome steel-gray piece. Otherwise sharply defined, areas of shallow pitting at the upper and lower obverse borders interfere with the design elements in those areas. More minor pitting is also noted here and there on the reverse, both sides with the typically rough texture of the type. Free of significant marks and not all that far from a Mint State grade, there is much to recommend this coin to the discerning type collector of colonial and related coinage. PCGS# 52.
