- Undated (ca. 1793-1795) Kentucky Token. W-8810. Rarity-5. Copper. LANCASTER Edge. MS-65+ BN (PCGS). This is a satiny, tight and exceptionally smooth example. The strike is drawn trivially to 6 o'clock on the obverse, 7:30 on the reverse, but only the denticulation is affected. All major design elements are razor sharp, the surfaces with ample traces of faded mint color mingling with dominant golden-brown and olive patina. Produced in large quantities in England as part of the Conder token series, the Kentucky tokens of the early to mid 1790s derive their popular name from the letter K at the top of the pyramid on the reverse, a reference to Kentucky, which was admitted to the Union as the 15th state on June 1, 1792. Whitman-8810 offered here is a scarce variety, most examples in numismatic hands are Plain Edge pieces of the W-8800 attribution. PCGS# 623. NGC ID: AUBN.
