Description

1694 Carolina Elephant Token, MS61 Brown
PROPRIETORS Spelling, W-12120
Among The Finest Known

1694 1/2 P Carolina Elephant Token, PROPRIETORS, MS61 Brown NGC. Betts-79, Hodder 2-F, W-12120, R.6. There are seven die varieties of Elephant tokens. The first four varieties reference only London, but the final three varieties have legends related to Carolina (W-12100 or W-12120) or New England (W-12140). Those are the varieties most coveted by early American specialists, and they are rare to very rare. W-12120 is the variety with the corrected spelling of PROPRIETORS. NGC has certified only three examples of W-12120. Two are graded VF, thus the present lot is the single-finest at NGC by more than 20 points. PCGS lists two examples in Mint State, the MS63 Garrett specimen and an MS62 piece with an unknown history. Although designated MS61 Brown, this nicely struck chocolate-brown piece likely merits a finer technical grade. No marks are evident, though the upper right reverse exhibits striations retained from the planchet prior to the strike, along with a small lamination (as made) at 12:30. Listed on page 49 of the 2021 Guide Book.
