- "1789" Mott Token. Breen-1022. Thick Planchet. Plain Edge. MS-63 BN (NGC). An uncommonly well preserved example of this intriguing early American token with glossy mahogany-brown surfaces that retain traces of mint frost. Late state of the dies with a large die break at the top left corner of the clock and spalling in the fields and peripheries of both sides. The exact origins of these tokens remain a mystery, but it is likely they were made at least a few decades after the 1789 date they bear and the die work appears to match that of some other tokens produced by Robert Lovett, Sr. in the 1830s. This is a choice and appealing example. Provenance: From Heritage's sale of the Donald G. Partrick Collection, June 2021, lot 45076. NGC ID: 2B5K. Click here for certification details from NGC.
