Undated (1688) American Plantations Token, or 1/24 Part Real. Newman 2-B, W-1135. Rarity-6. MS-62 (PCGS).；An impressive example of the type with bold pewter gray patina and sharp to full definition for most major design elements. Light oxidation is noted, along with an area of more extensive environmental damage just past 9 oclock on the reverse border, although we stress that the in hand appearance is uncommonly smooth for the type. As well, faint traces of original luster persists in the protected areas around the devices. A few small marks in the left obverse field are noted for accuracy. Rarer than the restrike varieties produced in 1828, Newman 2-B is one of the die marriages that numismatic scholars attribute to the original American Plantations token issue of 1688.；From the Antony Bettencourt Collection. Earlier ex Heritages sale of the Old New England Collection, April 2014, lot 3669.
