1789 Mott Token, Thin Planchet, Engrailed Edge
MS64 Brown, Ex: Roper

1789 TOKEN Mott Token, Thin Planchet, Engrailed Edge MS64 Brown PCGS. Ex: Roper. Thin Planchet, Engrailed Edge. Breen-1025. In his Encyclopedia, Breen lists this variety as "very rare." A scarce edge variant of this popular Early American issue. This is a lustrous, golden-brown beauty with no post-striking problems. From an early state of dies, with no indication of a die break from the upper left corner of the clock. The eagle is sharper than usually seen, although the neck is indistinct. The reverse is misaligned about 5% toward 6:30, which greatly aids in tracing the coin's pedigree. Listed on page 70 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Ex: Roper Collection (Stack's, 12/1983), lot 338; 2001 FUN Sale (Heritage, 1/2001), lot 6085, where it sold for $4,370; 2007 FUN Sale (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 217, where it brought $13,800.
