"1789" Mott Token. Rulau-E NY 610, Breen-1020. Thick Planchet. Plain Edge. AU-58 (PCGS). Wonderfully choice surfaces that are generally smooth and glossy with glimpses of mint frost. Rich tobacco and olive-brown patina is even across both sides. Later die state with a large die break off the left top of the clock. Reverse legends just barely off the planchet at the top while the overall sharpness is excellent considering the worn dies. It is not definitively known when or by whom the Mott tokens were produced, but the date of manufacture is generally considered later than the 1789 date the tokens bear. The detail, fabric, and design are more in line with tokens of the 1830s, and the letter and number punches are a close match to several tokens produced around that time period by Robert Lovett Sr., a New York City diesinker. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 603. NGC ID: 2B5K. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
