Undated (1792-94) Kentucky Token MS 63 Brown. Plain Edge. An exceptional Kentucky Token that was struck on a flawless planchet, the fields are semi-reflective and this brightness enhances the deep, iridescent coloration seen throughout. Fully struck with the word CAUSE just as fully brought up as the other letters on the scroll. There are several die cracks in the center of the obverse, but the only marks of note are one below IS around the periphery of the obverse, and a small nick on the bottom roll of the scroll. Purchased by David Faraday out of the Dr. David L. Spence Collection of U.S. Colonial Coins (Stack's, 3/75), lot 766, for the sum of $552.20. Listed on page 55 of the 1994 Guide Book. (PCGS# 794)

The surfaces are light in color with a pale golden patina surrounding the devices, which are unusually well defined. Struck on a slightly buckled planchet, there is a "wave" apparent on each side, but it does not look like the coin was bent after striking as a "witch piece."

1787 New Jersey Cent Overstruck on a 1787 Connecticut Cent Fine 12 Corroded. We are uncertain of the attribution of this coin, but it appears to be a Maris 56-n. The host coin shows very strong peripheral details on each side and it buckled in the striking process. We note a large planchet flake out of the lower obverse rim at 6 o'clock and a smaller one on the corresponding area on the reverse. Listed on page 50 of the 1994 Guide Book. (PCGS# 787)

1773 Virginia Halfpenny MS 65 Red. Period After GEORGIVS. While the condition of Virginia halfpennies is uncommonly high for a Colonial issue, with many pieces in uncirculated and many retaining the original red luster, this piece is undoubtedly the finest example we can remember having seen. Struck on a highly polished planchet prior to striking, the coin has an exceptional brightness and freshness of color that is truly amazing. The bright red color is accented by a slight brown only on the highest portions of the design elements on each side. Showing an unerring eye for quality, the consignor, David M. Faraday, purchased this coin from the Little Mint of San Francisco on November 7, 1967 for the princely sum of $75! Listed on page 24 of the 1994 Guide Book. (PCGS# 776)
