Description
1779 Rhode Island Ship Token
MS62 Red and Brown
Betts-562, No Wreath
Only Example Certified Red and Brown
1779 Rhode Island Ship Token, No Wreath, Brass, MS62 Red
and Brown. PCGS. CAC. Betts-562, W-1730, R.4. This
mysterious issue was produced to document the events surrounding
the eventual British evacuation of Rhode Island on October 25,
1779. Breen (1988) does not know when or where these coins were
produced, but their legends suggest that they may have been struck
in England for a Dutch speaking audience. Tinges of original luster
are evident in the more protected areas, the balance of the
surfaces blend honey-tan and copper-brown toning. VLUGTENDE has
been removed from the coin, as issued. Nicely detailed and with
good eye appeal. Listed on page 45 of the 2022 Guide
