Lot Description

1783 Georgivs Triumpho Token. Musante GW-54, Baker-7, W-10100. Rarity-3. VF-35 (PCGS). 104.54 grains. Handsomely preserved and pleasantly glossy with chocolate brown surfaces and darker walnut shades in the protected areas. The planchet is clipped just slightly on the obverse at 6 o'clock, trimming the denticles below George's lowest curl. The strike is well centered and uniformly bold across each side, complemented by a lack of notable abrasions throughout. A late die state example with the reverse crack from 11 o'clock rather distinct. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 664.
