Kentucky Token Values

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Kentucky Tokens series of Colonial & Post-Colonial Issues in the U.S. Coins contains 12 distinct entries with CPG® values between $90.00 and $5,500.00.

These tokens were struck in England circa 1792 to 1794. Each star in the triangle represents a state, identified by its initial letter. These pieces are usually called Kentucky cents because the letter K (for Kentucky) happens to be at the top. Some of the edges are plain; others are milled with a diagonal reeding; and some have edge lettering that reads PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL, PAYABLE AT BEDWORTH NUNEATON OR HINKLEY, or PAYABLE AT I. FIELDING, etc.
