- "1694" (ca. 1869) Carolina Elephant Token. Bolen Copy. Musante JAB-33, Kenney-5, W-14300. Copper. MS-62 BN (NGC).
Gorgeous autumn-brown, reddish-copper and olive-gray patina blends nicely over both sides of this smooth and inviting example. An exceptional specimen with superior quality at the assigned grade level. The strike is trivially off center, and while both sides are incomplete as far as denticulation is concerned, the elephant, legend and date are all sharply to fully defined. Bolen cut the dies for this restrike type in 1869, and he purportedly struck just 40 examples in copper. The dies were cancelled and gifted to the Boston Numismatic Society. Scarce.
