1787 TOKEN Auctori Plebis Token, Breen-1147, W-8770, R.3, AU55 PCGS. A smooth tan and olive example with a strike that is typical for the issue, as intended by the maker to imply acceptance in circulation. This example is from the usual die state with a prominent, curved die crack in front of the face of the seated figure, and continuing above and behind that figure. The obverse is nicely centered, while the reverse is slightly off center toward 2 o'clock. The Auctori Plebis token has an English origin, but is popular with colonial specialists due to its uncanny obverse similarity with the contemporary Connecticut coppers. Population: 6 in 55, 2 finer (6/17). Listed on page 76 of the 2018 Guide Book.
