Owner Comments:

Purchased on 9/6/2014.
Heritage Long Beach Expo US Coins Signature Auction - Long Beach #1209, Lot 9290.

NGC has graded 18 examples of this token. This is the single finest example in MS65 brown (BN) with 3 examples graded in MS65 red-brown (RB).

This token has wonderful irridescent color, and a very charming rendition of George Washington's bust (despite it being referred to among CWT collectors as the "ugly bust"). The George Washington die is referred to as Store Card Die #1139. The token is listed as R3 (between 500-2000 extant).
