New York--New York. 1799 Associate Church Communion Token. Lead or Pewter, Cast. Plain Edge. Very Fine.
23.5 mm x 17.5 mm, oval. Obv: Inscription ASSOCIATE / CHURCH within plain border. Rev: Inscription N. YORK with date 1799 below. Handsome pewter-gray patina throughout. A shallow casting flaw at 12 o'clock on the reverse is noted, as is some light, ancient verdigris engaging several of the design motifs on that side. Still a pleasing example in hand, and a rare type, our multiple offerings in this sale notwithstanding.
