1754 Franco-American Jeton. Betts-389. Silver, 28.5 mm. Busy Beavers. AU-50 (PCGS). 86.5 grains. Reeded edge. Perhaps the most popular design in the series, showing the industrious species whose furs spurred the economy of Canada for decades. Attractive silver gray with a whisper of gold and multicolored toning at the right periphery of both sides. Minor scattered marks are seen, trivial horizontal abrasion noted in the right obverse field. A handsome example. PCGS# 609874. <strong>To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
