1789 Mott Token on Thick Planchet Breen-1020. NGC graded MS-64 Brown. Glossy chocolate brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints of the design and slightly lighter brown toning in the protected areas. No spots, stains, or contact marks and well centered on a choice planchet. Struck from an intermediate state of the dies with tiny lumps from fine die rust scattered over both sides. The die rust is strongest around the legend close to the dentils, but it shows in the fields closer to the centers as well. In spite of the die rust, this piece is nicely struck with the numerals and hands of the clock clearly visible. In a new NGC 4 pronged holder. Pop 4; 3 finer in 65BN.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
