Thinking about aquiring this...

I'm thinking about picking this up any thoughts as to rareness or value? It's maybe one of the earliest grading I have found. Sorry about the images as they are the sellers not mine. This is an Auctori Plebis token, sometimes included in coins of Connecticut .

I imagine this one will set ya back a few Paddy, but with all that documentation I don't think you could go wrong.

 

Was wondering what the certification and autographs would be worth? This has to be very early 80's,maybe even earlier . One of the first TPG coins?

 

Definitely a period piece Paddy. Very interesting.

 

Coppers are not my specialty waiting to hear from some of who can shed some light on this one.

 

Paddy the link isn't working for me . Got a pic ?

 

I t worked . Very cool early certification .

 

@mark_h , @PennyGuy .

 

Although i couldnt view the coin,(my crappy phone) i could see the cert.... That is way cool!!! Go 4 it!!!!

 

I can't open the attachment. Can someone put the image up pretty please.

 

I'm sorry about the image issue , I'm waiting for a jpeg file from the seller.

 

Sorry Kirk , I can't get it to copy .

 

It's a connecticut copper. In my searchings, you can get one that quality for cheaper on ebay.

 

But not with that provenance .

 

True, not with the Walter Breen history. If that's what you're mostly after, I say go for it. If you're simply looking for a genuine connecticut copper, there are plenty others available.

 

Walter Breen history is not something I would personally pursue or pay anything extra for.

JMHO

 

Thanks guys. IMO, the coin isn't the prize here, but the provenance is just cool. I love the connection to old school collecting before slabs ruled the world. I wish that new and old collectors would realize that coins have been traded for hundreds of years without the need for TPG slabs. I do realize their value in the current market, but it was t always the way and some of the greatest collections were long before this modern prerequisite to purchase a coin.
