Description
Turks and Caicos Islands, J.N. Reynolds, salt raking/export business truck ticket for 6¬ U.S. cents (or half bitt) in brass (19mm) (5.10 grams) thick dumpy flan (2mm), undated but circa 1865 (Lyall 519). Has been corroded, lacquered to preserve the surface patina otherwise fine and excessively rare.
Ex F. Pridmore (lot 140) Collection. See the R.J. Ford sale for a finer example. Both examples appear to have been cast rather than struck so they were probably crudely made on the Island.
