Lot 1388
(c.1792-1794) Kentucky Token Cent. Lettered edge, "LANCASTER". PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. These tokens were struck in England about 1792-94. Each star in the triangle represents a state, with the letter K for Kentucky at the top, hence the name "Kentucky" token. Apparently the plain edge pieces were struck for circulation in the United States, and most of these are found in lower grades. The lettered edge pieces, as we have here, were intended for English collectors, and most are found in various mint state grades. Surfaces here are clean for the grade, with hints of mint color in the lettering. A few minor handling marks can be seen, and there is a minute area of planchet roughness on the lower reverse. Perfect for the type collector who desires a Kentucky token.
Estimated Value $600 - 700.
