Lot Description

Undated (Circa 1793-1795) Kentucky Token. W-8810. Rarity-5. Copper. LANCASTER Edge. MS-63 RD (PCGS). Satiny pinkish-orange surfaces support sharp to full detail throughout the design. A minor flan flaw over the lower left reverse is noted for accuracy, as are a few spots in the upper obverse field and scattered flecks on both sides. This is a scarce variety. The Kentucky tokens were produced in England as part of the popular Conder series. PCGS# 625. NGC ID: 2U49.
