1773 WILLIAN PITT OF STAMP ACT FAME as LORD CHATHAM by KIRK SHARP T-168

Description

Here I offer a nice EF or better (struck from rusty dies) copper medal or token of William Pitt who is the same William Pitt (the elder) who endeared himself to America for his support of the colonies and opposition to the Stamp Act. His coins are listed in the Red book. He became Prime Minister of England in 1766 prior to the American revolutionary war. Known as a Sentimental token or medal they were given with subscriptions to the Sentimentalist magazine.  There were13 different (and several varieties and metals) and this is one of them. Struck from rusty dies and perhaps on a smaller dia. planchet. There is a section where the copper was not held and escaped during striking and pushed up along part of the edge. Interesting mint ERROR. Probably one of a kind. And made at the mint.  Perfect color. Current in early America. See the scans. Shipping is free. Pay pal preferred.
I am always open to offers on any of my listings. Just ask. Worst thing is I say no.
