- "1781" (ca. 1820) North American Token. W-13980. Rarity-2. AU-53 (PCGS). 120.6 grains. A superior quality piece for the type, both sides are warmly and evenly toned in medium brown. Satiny surfaces are remarkably smooth in hand, and the design elements are universally bold in detail. Likely produced in Ireland sometime between 1810 and 1820, examples of this type found their way to North America, where they saw widespread circulation in Canada. All known examples were struck from deliberately damaged or worn dies to simulate older coins and thereby facilitate the type's acceptance in commercial channels. This is an uncommonly well preserved survivor that is fully deserving of the impressive AU grade from PCGS. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS# 589.
