Although I have an 1852 in a higher grade (raw) I am very pleased to have picked this one up (top pop NGC MS63) simply for the extensive die cracks on both sides of the coin. I can't imagine these dies were in service for very much longer after producing this little gem.   Edited by Wade

I can't imagine these dies were in service for very much longer after producing this little gem. I had also bid on this token. Thus, it is the common Courteau #247 with its characteristic light defect on the reverse between left rosette and letter « Bank». I have many examples of this variety in my population census, but I must admit that this token is the one of Courteau #247 with the most advanced stage of broken die. A nice catch!  I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

Ains, what is the first and last initial of your ebay user name? I would rather not run the price up on something you are truly after (unless of course it's something that I am truly after!) |

But thank you for your offer... I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.
