Description
1792 France, Christopher Potter Porcelain, Rue De Crussol, Paris, AR 10 Sols, Maz.169
A lovely example of this extremely rare revolutionary period token which was struck at Paris. In 1789, the English manufacturer (and former MP) Christopher Potter set up the Prince Of Wales porcelain factory in the Rue de Crussol. Struck from a heavily cracked reverse die as usual. Lightly worn and well detailed with pleasing toning. Presented with old collector’s ticket which provenances this piece to the collection of Lord Grantley which was auctioned by Glendinings over several sales between 1943-45.

I would grade this coin About Extremely Fine (Sheldon AU55). I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself.
For uncertified coins I provide a grading opinion using both the UK descriptive system and the Sheldon scale (based on ANA Grading Standards and/or PCGS Photograde) which will be better known to my US customers. I offer a grading opinion as a courtesy, but please examine the high resolution close up photos carefully and decide on a grade for yourself.
