Rare Uncirculated Sidewise 4, Newman 3-C
American Plantations Token
(1688) TOKEN American Plantations 1/24 Part Real, Sidewise 4
MS60 PCGS. Newman 3-C. Breen-81, "Very rare." The Sidewise 4
(Newman reverse C) is a well known rarity, and carries a lofty
premium over Newman 2-B and the more available circa-1828
restrikes. PCGS has certified only two pieces, both as MS60. The
other PCGS MS60 is from a different obverse die, Newman 6. John
Roper's example was also Newman 6-C. Only a handful of Newman 3-C
pieces exist; the Breen Encyclopedia and Newman (July 1955
Numismatist) plate coins are the same piece, which is not
the present coin. This example is well struck, and exhibits
consistently granular deep gray surfaces. Unabraded save for minor
edge marks on the reverse near 3 o'clock. Listed on page 39 of the
2008 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# AUB4, PCGS# 50, Greysheet# 348)
