Something you don't see every day and yet I really like collecting them. They are electrotypes Description from Stacks auction: 1766 Pitt token, nicely made from a high grade specimen, hints of lead showing; 1787 Standing Indian / New York Arms copper; much lead visible on central devices, a well made electro; and 1796 Castorland medal, a very unusual piece, superbly made, but after a later Castorland restrike using the post 1845 copy reverse die, almost certainly a professionally produced museum electrotype, lustrous and coppery on the obverse. 1766 Pitt Token 1796 Castorland Medal 1787 Standing Indian / New York Arms Copper
