Nova Scotia. Provincial Thistle Penny Token 1824 AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Br-868, NS-2A1, Courteau-260, 16.75 gm. Coinage alignment, top end of laurel crown has 4 leaves. This unusual piece appears to be some kind of special striking. Although the devices are not as fully struck up as one would expect from a specimen, the rims on both sides have a flatness about them which we've not seen before. The surface seems to have been mirror-like, but is now covered with very fine, almost microscopic, hairlines. The rubbing was so light, though, that the brown patina remains intact.
