Dozen Different DWI Tokens, Diverse starter collection includes four denominations from this very popular series. Most were issued in the late 19th century, prior to 1893, primarily for use in St. Thomas but also the remainder of the US Virgin Islands chain. A single example of the scarcer 10 Cents is present; Higgie 402 for G. Beretta is an original in VF once sold for $140. Five Cents styles number four. Three are of the 19mm CuNi style struck on both sides. A. Burnet of Higgie 405, Peirano et Fayale of Higgie 445 and R. Senior of Higgie 455 are pleasant examples grading AVF to full EF. The fourth is a Fine specimen of the very scarce uniface 26mm brass of Louis Delinois listed by Higgie 410, Eklund 1988 and Rulau Vrg-200. The exceptionally popular three cents include VF examples of both the 1888 and 1890 dates of the Russell Bros CuNi type, plus a typical "nearly as made" 1950's restrike of the Beretta style with the purposeful distinguishing hole. Final is a quartet of 1 Centavo including a pair of 20mm CuNi, first an AVF for C.A. Daniel (Higgie 407) and second an EF Higgie 411 for Delvalle & Company. Final is a pair for J. Muller including the slightly smaller uniface brass type of Higgie 437 and a nice VF of the Cu Higgie 436 which has design on both sides. Overall grades are as noted and seem typical. Sold as is, NO Return.From The Dana Roberts Collection and Study Group
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
