Lot Description

Undated (1688) American Plantations Token, or 1/24 Part Real. Newman 2-B, W-1135. Rarity-5+. Seven Harpstrings. Original. MS-62 (PCGS). 134.4 grains. Another MS-62 specimen, finely granular but still quite lustrous and silvery in appearance. The centering of the obverse is aligned to 5:00. An area of the rim above the crown surmounting the French fleurs de lis has crumbled, but otherwise the rim is in better shape than usual. This is struck from a later state of the reverse than the previous piece, now showing a cud break above N of HISPAN. The eye appeal is very nice, as expected of a piece with a Roper provenance. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Stack’s) sale of the John L. Roper, 2nd Collection, December 1983, lot 68. PCGS #49 Click here for certification details from PCGS.
