- 1755 Franco-American Jeton. Betts-390. Copper, 29.0 mm. The Argo. MS-62 BN (PCGS). 131.2 grains. Plain rounded edge. A really lovely example, with somewhat speckled tan and dark chocolate surfaces suggesting an elegant bronzing. Aside from a tiny natural flaw on the obverse rim at 6 o'clock, this piece is pretty much perfect. The design definition on both sides is simply superb. This design compares the search for pelts to Jason and the Argonauts mission for the Golden Fleece, making it one of the most evocative motifs in the series. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Virgil Brand Collection, September 1967; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIII, January 2006, lot 482.
