- (1792-1794) TOKEN Kentucky Token, Twin Leaf Edge AU55 NGC. Breen-1163, W-8825, Unique. 162.8 grains. Large quantities of Kentucky tokens were produced in England, mostly in copper, with several edge varieties. Commonly seen varieties are the plain edge, diagonally reeded edge, and LONDON edge varieties. Rarities include the BEDWORTH, FIELDINGS, and BIRMINGHAM edge variants. That with the ASYLUM edge was reported in the 19th century, but is untraced today. The present piece with the Twin Leaf edge is unique. In his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins, Walter Breen called this the Vine Edge variety, and suggested that the "Edge is probably like that on 1051: sinuous line and dots." However, he was clearly mistaken as the edge in no way resembles that of his Breen-1051 variety, the Talbot, Allum, and Lee/Blofield mule. The edge device has two rows of leaves, side-by-side, pointing outward. In the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins, Q. David Bowers described the edge as "ornamented with series of lines and dots," relying on Breen's earlier incorrect description. This important variant has a trace of high-point wear as the grade suggests, with lovely surfaces that display an attractive mix of chestnut, chocolate, and bluish-steel toning. A minor rim bruise is evident at 4 o'clock, over the C of SOCIETY. A smaller rim bump is noted over the N of UNUM. Both sides have the usual grade-consistent, trivial marks. Ex: Eric P.

- (1792-94) TOKEN Kentucky Token, LANCASTER Edge MS65 Brown NGC. Breen-1156, W-8810, R.5. 181.8 grains. Kentucky tokens were produced in quantity, but the vast majority of survivors are of the plain edge variety. The LANCASTER edge variant is among the more plentiful lettered edge varieties, but is nonetheless highly elusive, especially in Mint State. This beautifully preserved, glossy Gem is tied with one other for the finest numerically at NGC (4/14), and displays virtually undisturbed light brown surfaces. The strike is essentially sharp, save for some minor softness on a couple of reverse stars, and the lustrous surfaces deliver a subtle cartwheel effect when turned beneath a light. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,467.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- (1792-94) TOKEN Kentucky Token, Engrailed Edge MS65 Red and Brown NGC. Breen-1162, W-8805, R.6. 144.2 grains. Struck in England circa 1792 to 1794 as part of the Conder token series, Kentucky tokens were widely collected by English numismatists, and are not known to have circulated in the United States. The reverse depicts a pyramid of 15 stars, representing the 15 United States; as Kentucky is seen at the peak, the piece is commonly called the Kentucky token. This Gem example represents the engrailed edge variety, which is among the rarer of the many varieties known. It is the finest of only three Red and Brown examples at NGC and PCGS combined (4/14), and displays substantial copper-red color beneath medium orange-brown patina on each side. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $5,287.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1789 TOKEN Mott Token, Thick Planchet, Plain Edge MS66 Brown NGC. Breen-1020. 193.6 grains. Much debate has ensued regarding when Mott tokens were made, and by whom, though certain scholars suggest the pieces were made as late as the 1830s, likely to commemorate the founding of the company in 1789. Most pieces are poorly struck, with large die breaks obscuring much of the border legends. This early die state piece stands as the single finest certified, with no disrupting die breaks, and incredibly sharp detail on both the clock face and the legends. The surfaces are glossy, with iridescent accents over the rich chocolate-brown patina on each side. This is a truly remarkable piece in every respect. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $7.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9,987.50.

- 1789 TOKEN Mott Token, Thick Planchet, Plain Edge AU50 NGC. The dies used to strike Mott tokens suffered from rust, excessive wear, and breakage, and most resulting tokens exhibit partially obscured legends and little if any detail on the clock face. The large, characteristic die break on the upper-left corner of the clock is in an early state on this lightly circulated piece, with only a fraction of the typically seen break. The border legends are unusually clear, and the light wear seen over the high points of the design has not overly tempered the central sharpness. Glossy auburn-brown patina blankets each side, with no significant surface imperfections. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $763.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 TOKEN Auctori Plebis Token VF25 NGC. Breen-1153, R.7. Auctori Plebis tokens are part of the Conder token classification, and were not intended for circulation in America. However, Newman suggests the obverse design was adapted from the 1787 Connecticut copper, and thus these British pieces have been long collected as American colonial coinage. This piece represents one of two rare uniface varieties (struck on one side only), with the obverse ornamentation positioned after the legend, rather than within. The obverse details are unusually strong, with clear legends and a well-defined bust. Light chocolate-brown patina covers both sides, with smooth underlying surfaces that are free of environmental impairments. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,645.00.
