1758 Franco-American Jeton. Eagles Crossing the Sea. Betts-395, Breton-519, Frossard-Unlisted (WWC Wilson / Raymond Obverse Y). Copper. Plain Edge. AU-58 (PCGS).Coin turn. 106.8 grains. 28.4 mm. A jeton of great appeal, with choice glossy chocolate brown mingling with frosty light brown in exceptionally attractive fashion. Smooth and appealing, sharp and problem free. Two tiny specks are noted under SS of CHRISTIANISS on the obverse, and a few unimportant surface laminations are seen at the left side of the reverse design element. This is almost as nice, and every bit as pretty, as the copper example from this die pair offered as lot 515 in our (Stacks) Ford XIII sale of January 2006.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
