Lot Description

"1789" Mott Token. Breen-1022. Thick Planchet. Plain Edge. Cent Weight. AU-58+ (PCGS). 199.7 grains. Deep golden-tan surfaces reveal some lively luster, something not always associated with Mott tokens. Die cud at regulator, peripheral legends drawn to edge, all the classic indications of a late die state. A truly choice example of the type, one that should see spirited bidding among those who have yet to add a high-grade Mott token to his or her numismatic holdings. Ted Craige paid $90 for this lovely token according to his envelope.
