I am out of town right now so I do not have any references handy, but I think in the middle of last year Morton&Eden in the UK auctioned off some (or all) of James Watt's (of Boulton&Watt) Tokens etc. They had been preserved in paper and in some cases metal containers since striking off the press circa 1800 and many were as Gem Red as Lincoln pennies.
