Description
1778-1779 Rhode Island Ship Token, XF45
Brass, Wreath Below, Betts-563
1778-1779 Rhode Island Ship Token, Wreath Below, Brass, XF45
PCGS. CAC. Betts-563, W-1740, R.3. The obverse die for the
Rhode Island Ship token initially had VLUGTENDE (Dutch for
'fleeing') in the exergue. Rather than give the impression that the
British flagship fled the battle, the offending word was removed
from the die, and replaced with a wreath. Betts-563 is known in
both pewter and brass, though the former alloy is scarce. The
present brass example displays a blanket of rich chocolate-brown
patina. The high points are orange-gold. No marks or spots are
readily evident, and wear is moderate. Listed on page 47 of the
2023 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AUM, PCGS# 587, Greysheet# 396)
