Colonials
(c. 1828) TOKEN American Plantations 1/24 Part Real, Restrike, Newman 5-D, W-1160, R.5, MS62 PCGS. The heavy die crack on the right obverse identifies the most familiar of Newman's restrike varieties that were struck about 1828. The original pieces were intended for circulation in the American "Plantations" or colonies, and were produced by Richard Holt who received a British Royal coinage patent. This sharply struck and unmarked representative retains its initial silvery luster in protected areas, while the open fields have toned deep gray and exhibit the granular texture invariably seen on both originals and restrikes. Listed on page 43 of the 2018 Guide Book.
