1777 France Prepares to Aid America Jeton. Betts-558. Copper. AU-55 BN (PCGS).

28.8 mm. 129.7 grains. Plain edge. Remaining mint color blends with deep blue toning on lustrous surfaces. Some old marks are seen on the cheek, otherwise fairly well preserved. Bronze examples of this Betts number are many times more elusive than silver ones, and they are often struck from distinctive and unusual obverses, as seen here.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Maison Platt on June 11, 1969; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 189.
