1794 Franklin Press Token Breen-1165. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous medium chocolate brown with hints of light bluish steel overtone in protected areas. The surfaces are satiny and offer excellent eye appeal. The only mark is a microscopic planchet chip (as struck) over the left upright of the N in FRANKLIN. Nicely struck MDS. There is a small internal cud break inside the right part of the press. The AN in FRANKLIN are not quite fully impressed, but the strike is better than usually found on this variety. Pop 17; 6 finer, 5 in 64BN, 1 in 66BN.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
