***Auction Highlight*** NGC 1792 Kentucky Plain Edge Token Graded ms63 bn By NGC. This undated token is thought to commemorate the admission of Kentucky to the nation, and thus is thought to have been produced around the time of Kentucky's admission as the fifteenth state in 1792 but before 1796 when Tennessee was admitted. The names for this coin comes from the design on the reverse consisting of a pyramid made from 15 stars (with twelve points each) joined together with chain links and surrounded by nine groups of emanating rays in the shape of a star. Each star has a letter representing one of the thirteen original states as well as one for Vermont (which entered the union 1791) while at the top of the pyramid is a star with a K for Kentucky. The states are listed as follows: top row K (KY); second row RI, VI (RI, VA); third row V, NC, NY (VT, NC, NY); fourth row MS, MD, SC, NH (MA, MD, SC, NH); and the bottom row D, P, NJ, G, C (DE, PA, NJ, GA, CT).
