- Lot Description
- Undated (Circa 1793-1795) Kentucky Token. W-8805. Copper. Engrailed Edge. AU-58 (PCGS). 126.1 grains. Breen-1162, D&H-59b, Lancashire. Deep golden-tan with boldly rendered devices and a scattering of tiny marks, with the most noticeable of those in the field at the cuff of the obverse hand. Faint die crack just beginning at the hand and scroll. All told, still choice in appearance to the unaided eye. A fairly rare variety that is seldom offered for sale; we see the engrailed edge (diagonally reeded) style offered here only infrequently. One for the specialists.<br />
<br />
The Craige envelope calls this variety "RRR," the British equivalent of a Rarity-6+ or higher rating.
