JACOB LIPSON INVENTORY SELECTIONS

46mm. 57.7 grams. Pointing hand and BRONZE on edge. Signed I. HARDY F. Struck at the Paris Mint between 1845 and 1860. This is a scarce medal featuring the portrait and arms of Francois Christopher de Levi, duc d'Ampville, who served as the ninth Viceroy of New France from 1644 to 1660. Seldom offered in any condition, this one exhibits unmarked deep brown surfaces with glossy fields and fully struck devices. An exceptional example. Stack's offered a later restrike in 2016 (MS65 Red Brown NGC) that realized $793.13 USD.

6.10 grams. Thick flan with rounded edges. Central definition is strong on each side with typical weakness around the peripheries. Chocolate-brown surfaces are smooth and glossy. Almost certainly better than the assigned grade; these tokens were poorly made and detail is seldom bold and never uniform.

7.76 grams. An iconic Canadian token struck by Jean-Marie Arnault of Montreal and issued by Thomas and William Molson of the same city. The vast majority of Molson tokens that come to light appear in VF to XF and AU condition. Mint State examples are rare, but so are those that show signs of extensive circulation. This olive-gold example clearly circulated in the local economy. Its surfaces are smooth and problem-free, yet they retain almost full legends and bold devices with partial interior detail. Only ALL at the upper reverse is mostly illegible. An interesting and readily appealing example of this famous design.

VI in line. Obverse of Courteau-1n and Reverse of Courteau-2a. This token is gorgeous with coppery golden-brown colour that dominates each side. It is fully struck with razor-sharp detail on the Habitant's face and the thistle. The obverse is in a late die state with numerous spindly cracks. Minimally marked.

The political nature of this token with the star and Liberty cap on the reverse symbols of the Patriotes, and its Montreal origin (struck by Jean-Marie Arnault) make it one of the more popular issues in the Lower Canada series. This attractive example is strong for the VF grade level. Deep brown surfaces are glossy, if a bit unevenly struck along the left obverse border.

A superior collector-grade example in problem-free condition. Each side shows strong detail, including a bold date, with glossy chocolate-brown surfaces. Only 852,500 examples of the 1877 Indian cent were struck, making it the singular key to the series.
