A circle with SPENCE'S PLAN NOV 8 1775 in small letters, radiation lines, SPENCE'S GLORIOUS PLAN IS PAROCHIAL PARTNERSHIP IN LAND WITHOUT PRIVATE LANDLORDISM around in two lines / A cornucopia; THIS JUST PLAN WILL PRODUCE EVERLASTING PEACE AND HAPPINESS OR IN FACT THE MILLENIUM around in two lines. Uncirculated; lightly and evenly toned over fresh surfaces (seldom encountered in high grade condition) (with NGC MS 63 BN tag). This piece is almost a "mission statement" for Spence and his writings, his tokens, his countermarks, his life. It is not "common," and it seldom shows up this choice.
