- ""1789"" Mott Token. Breen-1021. Thin Planchet. Plain Edge. EF-40 (PCGS). Deep chocolate brown, somewhat glossy for in-hand appearance, with chestnut highlights. Nominal planchet roughness is seen under low magnification, along with the usual complement of raised die rust markers. Middle die state with cud at upper right (viewer's left) corner of the regulator (clock) that barely touches the &; this cud expands in a later state and engages the & plus the word GOLD. Struck at a much later date than the 1789 date shown, perhaps as late as 1839 to celebrate the firm's 50th year in business, a date that would correspond to the Hard Times era when it was commonplace for merchants to produce their own issues -- no one can say with any certainty, and one theory is as good as the next.
