CANADA. Lower Canada - Magdalen Island. Copper "Seal" Penny Token, 1815. NGC PROOF-64 Brown.
KM-Tn1; LC-1. Stunning glass-like reflectivity is displayed in the fields and the designs, unlike those intended for circulation, are virtually full with the detail on the seal's coat showing uncommon sharpness. Close inspection reveals a few as-struck depressions in the fields, but very little handling is present. Beneath the deep brown coloration, very subtle shifts in color from copper to blue add an element of uniqueness to the appearance. Certainly a RARE item in this presentation format, and considering the eye appeal, a piece that deserves placement in an advanced collection of Canadian types.
Estimate: $4000 - $5000
