Lot Description

“1789” Mott Token. Breen-1022. Thick Planchet, Plain Edge—Double Struck—MS-63 (PCGS). 168.4 grains. Middle die state. A very distinctive Mott token, with extremely smooth and glossy light brown surfaces. The two firm strikes, one atop the other, has created a significant raised rim and an eagle and shield with remarkable detail, complete and superb. Lettering from the initial strike is visible on right upright of clock. The break at the upper left of the clock is present but does not extend into the field. A very pretty example, one that stands out, particularly to connoisseurs of the issue. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS# 603. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
