Speaking of Motts Tokens . . .

Singapore

I always prefer the ones with no die break, which are generally the rarer thin planchet variety like this:

Here is an example of the engrailed edge variety. It is an astounding coin, compared to other engrailed edge Mott tokens I have seen. Our example has amazing cartwheel luster and a terrific strike, just unheard of for an engrailed edge. This is from the same collection as the thick-planchet coin I showed earlier. It might be the finest known were it not for a few scratches on the reverse, but even so, I've only seen a couple in the same ballpark.

I very seldom see these available, and usually, they are poorly struck. The coin has never been certified, to my knowledge.

That one is extremely sharp.

This is one of mine:



Its not sharp, but the die break is minimal, the color is great and its perfectly centered.

As I said in the other thread, the best one I know of for color, strike, centering, no die break and no flaws is the Bowers July 1997 coin. That too has never been slabbed as far as I know.

I meant to say Mott Tokens in the title above, but didn't.
