- Virginia--Richmond. Undated (1832-1844) Beck's Public Baths. HT-441, Low-275, W-VA-040-10a. Rarity-4. Copper. Plain Edge. AU-55 (PCGS). 28.5 mm. Medallic alignment. Smooth-looking and inviting surfaces exhibit dominant golden-copper patina, both sides with intermingled olive, the reverse also with a splash of rose-orange at the lower right border. Well defined from a sharply executed strike. While not rare as a type, a Beck's Baths token in attractive Choice AU condition like this is uncommon. Most are circulated to one degree or another, as here, but generally (far) more heavily so. A find for the advanced collector. With its somewhat risqué depiction of a nude woman, this token is a favorite today, just as it was with collectors of the mid-19th century. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
