- "1789" Mott Token. Breen-1021, Rulau NY-612. Thin Planchet. Plain Edge. MS-61 (PCGS). This satiny, predominantly medium copper example displays splashes of crimson and russet patina that are most prominent over the upper right obverse (eagle side). The surface texture is rough, as made. The dies were in a late state, with the centers softly defined and the reverse with a prominent break at the upper left corner of the clock. 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 Pine Tree Auctions' FUN Sale of January 1978, lot 46; our sale of the LJV Philadelphia Collection, November 2017, lot 4222, where it was incorrectly attributed by PCGS as a Thick Planchet example. PCGS# 604. NGC ID: 2B5K. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
