Undated (ca. 1828) American Plantations Token, or 1/24 Part Real. Restrike. Newman 4-E, W-1155. Rarity-5. About Uncirculated, Environmental Damage. 138.1 grains. Both sides are dark pewter gray, environmental damage extensive on the obverse with much of the surface area on that side obscured due to roughness and flaking. According to Roger S. Siboni (per Bowers, Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins</em>, 2009), the only known examples from this die pairing are restrikes attributed to London coin dealer Matthew Young, who acquired the dies ca. 1828. These were dispersed to collectors through W.S. Lincoln & Son, another London coin dealership. Some of these restrikes have oxidized like the originals, as here. From Baldwins argentum Auction of February 2012, lot 189. Lot tag included.
