Lot 26
1792 Washington Copper Token. Eagle with stars on reverse (no grade, host coin about EF). An impressive electrotype example of this extremely rare coin. As was the practice in the last two centuries, when a collector could not obtain an original example of a rare coin, a copy might be made from a friends collection or from a willing museum that had an example desired. Such is the case here, this coin is made from a cast of the obverse and reverse of an original out there somewhere, and the two halves are fused together. Rare and seldom offered in any grade, this glossy tan example makes for a nice filler until a real one is offered again.
Estimated Value $200 - 250.
