Description
1779 Rhode Island Ship Token, AU58
Wreath Below, Betts-563
1779 Token Rhode Island Ship Token, Wreath Below, Brass, AU58
PCGS. Betts-563, W-1740, R.3. Examples are known in pewter and
brass, sometimes with a silver wash. The previously recorded copper
alloy is no longer thought to exist, as all examples tested are
brass, regardless of the patina. The current coin's slab insert
reflects the old copper assertion. The medal is boldly detailed,
showing barely any wear, with deep walnut-brown patina that allows
glimpses of brassy color in the margins. Listed on page 20 of the
2026 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AUM, PCGS# 587, Greysheet# 396)
