Description: Exceptional NGC Mint State-63 Colorful Fiery Red-Brown Anti-Slavery “Am I Not a Man and a Brother” Halfpenny c. 1790, Anti-Slavery Theme British Copper Halfpenny, Conder Token. Obverse Legend: “Am I Not a Man and a Brother” and reverse of "May Slavery & Oppression Cease Throughout the World" D&H-1037A. NGC graded Mint State 63 Red Brown. Dalton & Hammer 1037A. 29mm. Rarely seen with fiery flashy red mint color, this is a superior example of this popular historic design. This example has natural spectacular red within most of the devices with vibrant color on both obverse and reverse. Great Britain issued these Anti-Slavery tokens to decry the institution of Slavery and, of course, to make some money by selling them to collectors and Anti-Slavery advocates. The reverse legend is a sentiment that remains appropriate even today. The edge on this example is plain. Excellent in detail and perfectly centered on both sides with unexpected wonderful eye appeal. A remarkable example having so much natural mint red color.
