Description

1752 (i.e. 1845-60) Franco-American Jeton. Betts-386. Silver, 28.9 mm. Mercury over the Seas. AU-58 (PCGS).
154.9 grains. Edge marked with cornucopia and ARGENT, though neither is visible in the current encapsulation. Deeply reflective and highly lustrous surfaces show lovely gold and blue undertones. A choice example, struck a bit later than most of these, with a wide and fairly flat edge and an exceptionally bold strike.
PCGS# 921093.
