I bought it as an NGC MS64RB.

Sent for crossover with a minimum grade of MS63RB - DNC.
Cracked out and submitted raw - Bodybag, altered surfaces.
Turned around and submitted again - MS65BN POP 1/0.

An image someone let me take at Baltimore a couple of years ago of the pop 1 1895 IH that sold in the 2000 ANA by Heritage.

Mark, that image of the 1906 is a beauty. I sure can't photograph copper like that. I've only photographed a few coppers, and they are certainly different from doing MS silver.

Bill - is that token easy to find? I like it, I want one.

cosmicdebris · January 25, 2005 9:15AM

Eric according to the Dalton & Hammer Conder Token Book that token is scare and even more so in the condition mine is. It will cost a few bucks to obtain a nice example.

K6AZ · January 25, 2005 9:16AM

That's too bad, the interesting ones usually are. What's the background on it?

Darkhorse · January 25, 2005 9:21AM

Middlesex Corresponding Society D&H 290.

It was common practice when publishing libelous material to print the first and last letter of the individual's name, leaving the reader to fill in the blank. This flimsy expedient was sufficient to evade the laws of libel. In the obverse legend the diesinker has left little to chance; P eye T could hardly be mistaken for anyone but William Pitt, the Prime Minister.

Pitt began his political life as a supporter of Parliamentary Reform, but with his accession to power he was forced to suppress the more seditious elements in their aims to overthrow the government. He proposed the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act to suppress sedition and conspiracy which received the assent of Parliment in 1794. The sarcastic reference on the obelisk to Peace in 1796 is directed against the Prime Minister, and refers to the abortive mission of Lord Malmesbury to Paris in that year.

The reverse design is based on the cypher of the London Corresponding Society; one of the most affected by Pitt's measures.
