RALEIGH PLANTATION TOKEN INFORMATION SOUGHT

Jim Jones of Cary, NC writes: "I'm researching the 'Raleigh Plantation
Token', designated as Betts-15 in C. Wyllys Betts' book, 'American
Colonial History Illustrated by Contemporary Medals', 1894.  I would
appreciate any information regarding:

- Knowledge / insights about the piece's background, origin,
purpose, sponsor, date / location of striking

- Appearance of the piece in numismatic literature, beyond
Betts' description and footnote

- Specimens appearing in pre-2000 public auctions

- Location / owners of specimens currently in institutional
and private collections

- Other numismatists interested in this piece, and who would
be interested in research collaboration

Thank you. Please write me at jpjones@nc.rr.com "
