Description:
|
Marvelous olive-brown coloration announces fully original surface quality, and except for a minor rim ding at 10:00 as viewed from the reverse (clock side), there is scarcely any evidence of contact anywhere. The reverse is off center just slightly to the north, while the obverse is uncentered in the same direction by close to ten percent, this dichotomy resulting from misaligned dies. The consequence is that the reverse barely managed to received a full complement of peripheral lettering, while the obverse is missing about a third of it's wording. How unfair! The central cud that appears on a majority of these coins is boldly present, though it has not yet reached the clock's face as it does in later die states. A fabulous Mott token that probably grades XF or better, as must be judged by surface quality (not by details).
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
