(1688) 1/24RL American Plantations 1/24 Part Real MS63 PCGS. CAC. Newman 4-E, W-1155, R.5. Originals and restrikes are thought to exist for the Newman 4-E die pair, and Q. David Bowers notes that Originals are tin while Restrikes are pewter. This exceptional example exhibits full luster on its light gray surfaces with splashes of darker gray toning on the high points. The surfaces are smooth and pleasing with little evidence of the tin pest normally associated with these pieces. Listed on page 41 of the 2016 Guide Book.
