Undated (ca. 1793-1795) Kentucky Token. W-8800. Rarity-1. Copper.

Undated (ca. 1793-1795) Kentucky Token. W-8800. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. MS-64 BN (PCGS). Handsome frosty to semi-reflective luster radiates from richly original surfaces toned in a blend of autumn-orange and olive-brown. Fully struck hand with faint crack above, exceptional eye appeal for the issue, only the most minor contact marks - this is a definitely a superior quality example of this popular type. Produced in large quantities in England as part of the Conder token series, the Kentucky tokens of the early to mid 1790s derive their popular name from the letter K at the top of the pyramid on the reverse, a reference to Kentucky, which was admitted to the Union as the 15th state on June 1, 1792. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier from Heritage's Long Beach Signature Auction of February 2010, lot 36, as PCGS/CAC MS-64 BN. PCGS# 614. NGC ID: AUBL.
