Lot 91
1783 Washington token. "UNITY STATES". AU-58. Glossy brown in color and generally pleasing. The rims have a few ticks, but they are not distracting. Minor lines on the surfaces, as the planchets were made to look as though these coins had circulated from the time they were coined, and were obvious copies of the later large cent reverses of the draped bust type. Few are known in mint state, and this example is very close if not at that grade level. Obverse portrait of Washington with a laurel wreath of victory in this head, and the fanciful date of 1783 below, although these were likely struck in the 1820s.
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.
