Bruttium, Croton Stater

Croton was founded by Achaean Greeks in c. 710 BC. It was situated between Tarentum and Rhegium making it a good port city between the two. Some notable Greeks found prominence in Croton. The first was Milo of Croton, who was victorious in the Olympic Games c. 588 BC. The philosopher Phythagorus formed a society of over 300 disciples.

This lovely coin comes from the Niggeler Collection (sold in 1965) through a joint venture of Bank Leu and M&M Basel and previously was part of the Jameson Collection.

1820 North West Co. Token

Breton-925, Breen-1084 variety, the rare variant struck in Copper. Holed at the top for suspension, as usual. Believed by us to be High Rarity-6.

And this is a spectacular example with hard, lustrous, medium brown surfaces and extremely sharp detail far beyond what is normally encountered on a type most often seen well worn and/or with some degree of environmental damage.

Ex Henry Chapman's June 1907 sale of the Matthew A. Stickney Collection, lot #2941.

An exceptionally preserved example of this rare and popular branch mint gold issue from the Charlotte mint! One of the final years of production that resulted in a mintage of just under 32,000 pieces. Nearly all of the mintage entered circulation as America teetered on the verge of the Civil War. From a population of four only five PCGS examples have been graded finer than the present example.
