Lot Description

1794 Franklin Press Token. W-8850. Rarity-1. Plain Edge. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Blooms of tangerine luster surround the devices of this lovely Choice Mint State example, complementing the overall mahogany patina. The surfaces are considerably lustrous and smooth, remaining free from any distractions. Late obverse die state with the characteristic breaks around the press motif. Boldly to sharply struck throughout, this is certainly among the most desirable certified survivors of this issue available to today's discerning numismatists. The Franklin Press token is an English tradesman's token that has long been popular with American collectors. PCGS# 630. NGC ID: 2B5V. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
