One Quick Pic Before I go to Bed

Singapore

Bought this one a while ago:



I thought it was very attractive, and not too expensive. It was also pedigreed to a famous sale of the past (though no one seemed to know it, or perhaps no one cared - in either case thats OK by me).

Can anyone tell me what famous sale that was?

When you said one quick pic before you go to bed I though it was going to be necessary to remind you what Confusious said...man who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with stinky fingers.

Well, uh, it was Eliasberg.

Check out this Mott Token (thick planchet). Finest that I've ever personally owned. I grade it MS-62, but it is far, far nicer than the PCGS MS-64 coin (which I believe is the highest they've graded). It actually has cartwheel luster on both sides!

By the way, it is not for sale.

There are a few very sharp Motts out there -

One in a PCGS 64 holder is the Steinberg coin, which is very sharp with a hint of red but a massive die break on the clock. Another 64 is one I have, which is not well struck, but is perfectly centered with a minute die break and excellent color - I prefer mine, so I bought it.

The best one I know about was the one sold in Bowers July 1997 rarities sale lot 1083. That and the Breen plate coin.

Remarkably well struck. If I recall right, that was made on a screw press wasn't it?
