- Unique I. FIELDINGS Edge Kentucky Token Undated (ca. 1793-1795) Kentucky Token. W-8818. Rarity-8+. Copper. I. FIELDINGS Edge. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 176.5 grains. An impressive Choice Mint State piece with prooflike steel-brown surfaces and dramatic pull-away toning around the obverse legends that gives the coin a wonderful, original appearance. Sharply struck on a slightly broader than normal planchet. A bit of brick-red patina in the upper obverse field and few light abrasions on each side are the only minor imperfections. Edge reads PAYABLE AT I. FIELDINGS MANCHESTER and this is the only such example known. Discovered by Richard Picker and first reported in the January-March 1962 issue of The Colonial Newsletter. Another fleeting opportunity for the advanced collector. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex John Agre (Coin Rarities Online), May 2015.
