CANADA. Lower Canada. Quebec. Copper Bank Token, 1852. Uncertain, though likely Birmingham (Soho) Mint. PCGS PROOF-63 Brown.
PC-4; Br-528. Exceedingly attractive and vibrant, this VERY RARE offering in proof presents a level of quality that must be virtually unrivaled. Hues of orange and cobalt come to live when this specimen is cradled back and forth in one's hand, with the immense luster--seemingly of a liquimetal quality--drips from the fields. A wholly tantalizing piece.
Ex: Avery Historical Museum Collection (includes museum ticket as no. 20.3.6).
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
