<B>1879 Battle of Newtown Centennial, HK-124, XF40 Uncertified.</B></I> Pewter, 39.7 mm, "rare" (HK, 1963). Obverse: Tower and grounds, dates 1779-1879 and "In commemoration of the Battle of Newtown N.Y.," below "Aug. 29, 1779." Reverse: "The forces of the Six Nations, under the leadership of Joseph Brant / aided by British regulars and Tories, were defeated / by the / Americans / commanded by / Maj. Gen. John Sullivan / of N.H. / thereby hastening / the day / which assured to the / United States, their / existence as an independent / nation." Still an attractive piece despite some light wear and moderate but undistracting surface blemishes.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
