(ca. 1860) Colony of New Yorke Fantasy by C. Wyllys Betts. W-17070. Lead. Extremely Fine.
27.0 mm. Plain edge. Coin turn. Dark gray with fairly glossy surfaces and a bit of encrustation around some obverse devices. Considering the composition, this piece has held up well, retaining most of its detail and surviving undamaged and uncorroded. Scattered marks are seen, none important. The juvenile fantasies made by the juvenile Betts continue to charm collectors today.
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
