Lot 1259
1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Token Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown. Glittering Proof surfaces and exceptionally bold details. Large quantities of these were struck in England for shipment to the Talbot, Allum & Lee company of New York, where they were used as combined money and advertising pieces. Apparently, the Birmingham Mint produced some special Proof issues, which are vastly different in appearance from the regular issue pieces. This is one such piece, and it's a Gem! Extremely Rare! PCGS reports 5 in this grade, with none better (PCGS # 90640) Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000
