Undated (ca. 1672-1694) London Elephant Token. Hodder 1-A, W-12000.

Lovely VF Hodder 1-A Elephant Elusive Variety with Diagonals in Shield Center Undated (ca. 1672-1694) London Elephant Token. Hodder 1-A, W-12000. Rarity-6+. GOD PRESERVE LONDON. Diagonals in Center of Shield. VF-25 (PCGS). An excellent representative of this rare Elephant token variety featuring the only reverse die with diagonal lines in the center of the shield connecting the four quadrants. Only 11 examples have been graded at PCGS and there are likely no more than two dozen extant in total. This premium VF-25 is the lowest graded in the PCGS Population Report, actually a positive attribute since it places it at a more affordable price point without sacrificing on either quality or eye appeal. Deep chestnut brown patina overall, the surfaces are generally smooth with a nice, hard, satiny texture. There is a trivial edge bruise at 9 o'clock on the obverse that we mention solely as an identifier. All major design elements are bold except for the diagonals at the center of the shield, which have been lost to wear, but other diagnostics of this reverse die are clear to confirm the Hodder 1-A attribution, including the positioning of the star at lower border in relation to the shield point. With solid quality for the type and plenty of visual appeal, this is a significant and desirable piece for an advanced colonial cabinet. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 61.
