Lot Description

Undated (1688) American Plantations Token, or 1/24 Part Real. Newman 5-D, W-1160. Rarity-4+. Eleven Harpstrings. Restrike. MS-63 (PCGS). 145.6 grains. An exceptionally flashy and well preserved specimen from the most commonly encountered restrike die pair, with its easily distinguished die crack descending through the obverse field. Superbly lustrous, with more genuine cartwheel than this cataloger can recall seeing on an American Plantation token restrike in the last 30 years. Well centered, clear die clashes are seen around the central reverse. Some light handling marks are seen, including a dig behind the horse’s hindquarters, and some very localized softness here and there. Just a beautiful example, fit for a high class cabinet. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS Population: 8; 3 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS #52 Click here for certification details from PCGS.
