- Possibly Original Striking of Newman 4-E? Undated (1688) American Plantations Token, or 1/24 Part Real. Newman 4-E, W-1155. Rarity-4+. Seven Harpstrings. Restrike? MS-62 (PCGS). 144.2 grains. Though described by PCGS as a restrike, as most of this die marriage are, we think this piece is quite possibly an original based upon its striking characteristics, metal quality, and wobbly, slightly uneven edge device. Bright and lustrous silver gray with raised pimples over much of both sides. The centering is good, and the detail is exceptional for either an original or a restrike. No solid distinguishing characteristics have ever been offered for a restrike vs. an original, so most high grade examples from known restrike die combinations get called restrikes by default. Either way, the eye appeal and quality of this one makes it a very desirable property. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Abe Kosoff.
