Undated (1688) American Plantations Token, or 1/24 Part Real. Original(?).

Undated (1688) American Plantations Token, or 1/24 Part Real. Original(?). Newman 4-E, W-1155. Rarity-4+. 7 Harp Strings. MS-61 (PCGS). Though the Whitman colonial coin Encyclopedia suggests that the vast majority of Newman 4-E specimens are restrikes, PCGS has attributed this particular specimen as an original, hence their assignment of coin #49. Both sides are toned in deep pewter gray, the surfaces original, yet macrogranular, as often seen for the type. There is a single tin pest spot, on the at the crown in the 9 o'clock position, which is more than offset by traces of flashy bright silver luster within the protected areas around some of the design elements on that side. A nice example for type purposes. Restrikes of this type were accomplished circa 1828 by London coin dealer Matthew Young. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier from Heritage's Milwaukee ANA Signature Auction of August 2007, lot 2. PCGS# 49. NGC ID: AUB2. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
