1794 Franklin Press Token. W-8850. AU-53 (PCGS).Nice copper-brown patina with hints of red on the reverse. The central design elements are sharp with subtle softness on the legend noted on AS in LIBERTAS. The devices and inscriptions are outlined with what appears to be residue on both the obverse and reverse. Ben Franklin worked at the press in his early years for a brief time, and after the success of the American Revolution, the British owners of the press capitalized on that fact.
