- 1783 Treaty of Paris, -- Obv Scratched - NGC Details. Unc. Betts-610. White Metal, with copper plug. XF. 43 mm. Although a few scratches are indeed present on the obverse, they are thin and are not immediately obvious unless viewed closely. Much original luster remains, adding to the eye appeal of this otherwise well preserved piece. The strike is sharp for the most part, with portions of the inner border lacking definition along with the facial features on the reverse. Overall, an aesthetically pleasing piece that will make a nice addition to any collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $793.13.

- 1783 Peace of Versailles. VF30 NGC. Betts-608. Eimer-803. 45mm. Medium gray in color overall, this piece reveals areas of gold toning on both sides when examined closely. "American Liberty" is the translation of the legend on the upper obverse. Louis XVI is depicted seated at left, pointing with his left hand toward a shield with thirteen bars that a woman, representing Liberty, has just placed on a column between them. A freedom cap appears on the top of the column. The reverse legend translates as, "By common consent." The wear is evenly distributed on the high points of the design on this piece. As expected at this grade level, a few marks are present, but they are largely confined to the fields and do not affect the designs. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $3,818.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1755 Safety at Sea, MS65 Brown NGC. Betts-392. Bronze. A standing Mercury appears on the central obverse flanked by two ships in the distance.
