The story behind these is covered well by Louis Jordon, of Notre Dame:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/KYToken.intro.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/KYToken.intro.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/KYToken.intro.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not the best at grading high grade coins but this is easily a AU-50 and could go into the MS range. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;ve seen others in PCGS slabs that are in the same condition and they were graded MS-63 and up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: It&#039;s the Plain Edge variety.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
