"1789" Mott Token. Breen-1022, Rulau-E NY 610. Thick Planchet. Plain Edge. Cent Weight. MS-63 BN (PCGS).
200.6 grains. An outstanding example of the type. Struck remarkably well from a fairly early state of the dies, this piece displays seldom seen detail on the clock and eagle motifs including all of the Roman numerals and hands on the clock face, as well as exceptional sharpness on the eagle and shield. Attractively toned surfaces with a patina of light olive-brown and steel-blue as well as traces of rose and violet. Mint frost is present on both sides and there is no trace of wear. Impressive quality throughout.
PCGS# 603.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006.
