- "1789" Mott Token. Breen-1020, Rulau-E NY 610. Rarity-5. Thick Planchet. Plain Edge. AU-58 (PCGS).
Fully original copper brown surfaces with a typical quality of strike for the type. The grandfather clock is suitably bold with the often-seen prominent die break at its upper left corner. The eagle is soft, that side of the coin also with typical die roughness throughout the field, which feature is also seen around the periphery on the other side. There are no post-production blemishes of note, and the overall quality is temptingly close to Mint State. This enigmatic type is thought to have been made as late as the 1830s, probably to commemorate the founding of the Mott Company in 1789.
Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Acquired from Mary Sauvain, March 1993.
PCGS# 603.
