| | Bass Sale 1 Session 3 |
 | | Called the Grate token, this popular bit of Washingtonia is avidly collected by American coin specialists due to its portrait featuring the Father of Our Country. |
 | | The token was issued in London as part of the Conder series (named for James Conder, who wrote a book on such tokens), and advertises the firm of Clark and Harris of 13 Wormwood Street, Bishopsgate, London, a manufacturer and seller of ironware and other metal items. |
 | | This dollar, which is considered very rare, commanded a premium of about $25 in 1860, and has steadily advanced in fictitious value from year to year, and commanded, in every condition, in 1885, the sum of $300.00. |
