The item in question is a Washington Token from the year 1880, part of the Baker series, which celebrates the legacy of George Washington. This token is categorized under "Coins" and falls under the "Other / Varied" denomination, implying it does not conform to typical currency standards. The origin of this token is the United States of America, though its specific minting location remains unknown. This particular piece has two significant details: it appears to lack a recorded diameter and weight, both listed as '0.00000000'. This absence of measurement may suggest that it is either a unique specimen, potentially an unfinished example, or possibly an error in documentation. Additionally, there is a stated mintage of '0', indicating that no production occurred for this particular token, making it exceedingly rare. Tokens like this, although not traditionally used as currency, often hold value among collectors due to their historical significance and the limited availability—especially given the unusual characteristics of this piece. It represents not only an homage to George Washington but also the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of the era, making it a potentially intriguing addition to any numismatic collection, depending on its eventual grading upon further examination.
