- 1756 Franco-American Jeton. The Migrating Hive. Betts-393, Breton-517, Frossard-41. Silver. Reeded Edge. MS-62 (PCGS). Coin turn. 93.4 grains. 28.5 mm. Deep vibrant toning on both sides comprises rose, violet, sea green, gold, and blue among gray shades of varying richness. Lustrous, sharp, and appealing, somewhat reflective on the reverse. The broad expanse of the upper reverse field shows some marks and hairlines but no other substantial flaws are noted. One of the most evocative designs of the series, showing a swarm of bees removing itself from one hive in favor of another, accompanied by a legend translated as "they change their home but not their hearts." This design, arguably the most charming in the series, is far scarcer than more commonly encountered types such as the beaver dam or the Argo. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS# 651373.
