Struck from late dies, the Roman clock is affected by the familiar large internal die break at the upper left corner, and the eagle is rather faintly detailed, the result of progressing concavity of the aging reverse die. Mott tokens are frequently seen a little off center, and that is the case here, the obverse and reverse both shifted upward slightly (remember that this was struck in medallic alignment). Still, the peripheral legends are managed to remain on the planchet - except for where the clip to a huge bite out of the lettering. Intriguing, unusual and endlessly fascinating.

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.
