1787 Auctori Plebis Token. W-8770. Rarity-3. EF-45 (PCGS).

1787 Auctori Plebis Token. W-8770. Rarity-3. EF-45 (PCGS). 122.7 grains. Glossy medium brown surfaces display a few faint marks, but the eye appeal is strong. Nicely centered on the obverse, typical reverse centering with the border to the tops of the letters DE, then with just the bottom of the following P on the flan, same with the bottoms of ET LI, with the border at the tops of BE. The date is fully on the flan. Choice for the grade and type. Produced in England and circulating there starting no later than 1795, the Auctori Plebis tokens have been adopted by American collectors due to the similarity of the obverse portrait to that used on Draped Bust Left Connecticut coppers. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier ex H. Cuddy, October 1970; Dr. Robert I. Hinkley; our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Dr. Robert I. Hinkley Collection, November 2001, lot 2424. PCGS# 601. NGC ID: 26XG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
