1803 Capped Bust Right Quarter Eagle Kettle Token. Judd-C1803-1, Pollock-8001. Rarity-6. Brass. Reeded Edge. Coin Alignment. VF-20 (Uncertified).,19.5 mm. Kettle Tokens are English-made struck brass imitations of contemporary U.S. gold quarter eagle and half eagle coins intended to be used in gambling establishments as "chips" representing the coins they resembled. They are not authentic regular issue or pattern coins, though unscrupulous individuals in the 19th century as well as today have removed the KETTLE signature and offered these pieces as both. These early Kettle pieces remain an intriguing adjunct to collections of early United States gold coins, as well as enjoying great popularity with collectors of gaming tokens.From the Graywood Collection.
