BL-24C1, Lees 5A, Thick, SCC-47, Breton 999, "Pewter" ICCS Very Good-8 clipped. Believed to be the only example struck in "Pewter" of this Excessively rare type. "Confirmed by expert Mr. Chris Faulkner". This token should be considered as a new find, possibly unique and of the highest Rarities. This example should well supercede estimated prices. This piece is extremely well preserved and visually outstanding. Off the scale as rarity is considered and should be included in the best of collections. This would be an important addition to a major Canadian Museum, financial institution collection or a major highlight of a personal collection. Amongst the most impressive and most significant tokens we have ever sold in our auctions. A 'tasty' find for any serious collector and will most certainly serve as an absolute treasure in their collection. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! In 40+ years, we handled two examples of Breton #999. Both sold at the 2017 Torex auction ; a "thin" and a "thick flan" both in "Copper". One brought in $17,110 and the other sold for $31,270 respectively. This is the first token #999 in "PEWTER" that we have had the opportunity to offer through our sales. Expect strong bidding.
