- "1781" (ca. 1820) North American Token. W-13980. Rarity-2. AU-53 (PCGS).
A handsome medium copper example with considerable gloss to both sides. Well defined overall, the surfaces are free of worrisome blemishes with trivial roughness in the fields that is easily overlooked given the generally superior quality of this piece. Likely produced in Ireland sometime between 1810 and 1820, examples of this type found their way to North America, where they saw widespread circulation in Canada. All known examples were struck from deliberately damaged or worn dies to simulate older coins and thereby facilitate the type's acceptance in commercial channels. This is a remarkably well preserved survivor that is fully deserving of the impressive Choice AU grade from PCGS.
PCGS# 589. NGC ID: 2B5H.
