Lot Description

Undated (ca. 1793-1795) Kentucky Token. W-8800. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. MS-64 BN (PCGS). OGH. Original, slightly dusky surfaces show intermingled olive highlights to dominant sandy-brown patina. An ancient spot in the right obverse field is noted for accuracy, but of distracting marks we find nothing to report. Sharply struck throughout, and impressively so for the type, this is an attractive piece to represent the American-themed Kentucky token in a Mint State collection. PCGS# 614. NGC ID: AUBL.
