Description
Red and Brown Gem Thick Planchet
London Elephant Token, W-12040
(1694) TOKEN London Elephant Token, Thick Planchet MS65 Red and
Brown PCGS. Hodder 2-B, W-12040, R.2. Elephant tokens with any
remaining mint red are great rarities. PCGS has certified only five
such pieces. PCGS and NGC combined have graded more than 200
examples as Brown, but among those only a single NGC coin attained
the MS65 grade. The present Gem retains the initial orange-gold
along device outlines and within the legends. Carbon is microscopic
and there are no abrasions. The strike is consistent across the
pachyderm and shield. Though the London Elephant tokens are an
English issue, they are die linked to the very rare Carolina and
New England varieties. Listed on page 46 of the 2013 Guide
Book. Population: 2 in 65 Red and Brown, 1 finer (10/12).Ex: Chicago ANA (Heritage, 8/1999), lot 6448.
