Undated TOKEN New Yorke Token, Brass, W-1705, R.6 -- Scratches -- NGC Details. Fine. Ex: Donald G. Partrick Collection. 34.9 grains. 72% copper, 26% zinc (known as alpha brass). This patinated example exhibits rich chocolate-brown surfaces with peripheral weakness. Myriad scratches are mostly blended with the surrounding surface. Approximately 20 examples are known in this composition. At least one example is known struck in lead or pewter. Most of the few surviving examples are substantially worn, having circulated for a long period of time. The New Yorke tokens, or patterns as they are sometimes labeled, were likely minted in England and probably circulated there. We have handled a total of just five different examples of this important issue over the past two decades.
