Gloucestershire, D&H-1, MS-64 BN. Edge: Plain. Rarity: easily met with. Diesinker: Wyon. - You just gotta love these penny tokens. They got the whole cathedral on this token and in the greatest detail. A work of art. The Gloucester, spelled Glocester on token, Cathedral is the glory of the city and mixes Norman, Transitional, Perpendicular, and Decorated architectural styles. The tower bell, called "The Great Peter" weighing over 3 tons is the oldest medeval one in the country. Even deep brown toning makes this token jump out of the white holder.

Gloucestershire, D&H-2, MS-65 BN PL. Edge: plain. Rarity: easily met with. Diesinker: Wyon. - Gotta love this one just like the last one. In fact, it's even better. Higher grade and prooflike. They once again got the whole church and school on the token and with details to boot. Another work of art. This old church lies in the heart of the city. Many generations have worshipped here and left their mark on its fabric. Here you see a tall Tudor east window. At the opposite end of the church a Norman doorway faces the street. In between is a 14th-century tower with delicate tracery. Inside you will find monuments to the great and good including brasses to John and Joan Cooke, founders of the Crypt Grammar School.

Gloucestershire-Gloucester, D&H-3, MS-62 BN. Edge: plain. Rarity: Easily met with. Diesinker: Wyon - Another great looking token from the Gloucester series. Don't see much wrong with this one but for a tiny rim ding on the reverse. Picture of St. Mary de Lode Church on Southgate St. The site has housed a church from the 12th century, when it was known as the Church of the Blessed Mary within the Southgate. Also called Christ Church, and St. Mary in the South. Rebuilt and extended in the late 14th century, and again in the early 16th century. Robert Raikes (founder of Sunday School's), lies buried beneath the floor of the South Chapel. During the siege of Gloucester in 1643 the City used the church as a ammunition factory and store.

Owner Comments
Gloucestershire-Gloucester, D&H-4, MS-64BN. Edge: Plain. Rarity: common. Diesinker & Manufacturer: Wyon or Kempson. In the D&H book these are listed as “easily met” with #4 being the scarcest. I haven’t found that to be true. Numbers 3, 8, and 9 I’ve seen offered several times but the others very seldom come up for sale. The Church is still in use and somewhat still resembles the church on the token. The name of St. Mary De Lode refers to the church being by a water way that had a ferry across a river to the west that members could access. Lode in old English meant water course. (I think, I believe, I read, I’ve been told). Off from eBay with a Heritage sticker

Gloucestershire, D&H-5, MS-64 BN PL. Edge: plain. Rarity: easily met with. Diesinker: Wyon - Well, another great token with all the same greatness as the last two tokens, but this one does have a small spot in the obv. field.St Michael the Archangel church was in existence in the 12th century. The old church, apart from the 15th century tower, was demolished in 1849 and a new church erected which incorporated the old tower.

Gloucestershire, D&H-8, MS-64 BN PL. Edge: plain. Rarity: easily met with. Just as nice as the last but for the spots on the upper right. Great mirrors and almost looks like it's been bronzed. Whitefriars, also known as White Friers or The College of Carmelites, Gloucester, England, was a Carmelite friary of which nothing now survives.
The Friary was outside the north gate of the city and was founded around 1268 or 1269, probably by Queen Eleanor, Sir Thomas Gifford (or Giffard), and Sir Thomas Berkeley. By 1337 there were 31 friars resident. Can't seem to find anything about the building. I'll keep looking.

Gloucestershire-Gloucester. D&H-9, MS-62 BN. Edge: plain. Rarity: easily met with. Diesinker: Wyon - This is the 3rd one of these I've purchased at auction, and it's the best one so far, it's only a 62 with some hairlines and a few dings. My first was a NGC-AU which I sold when I got my second one, a NGC 62, which I also sold. The third one is a 62 to but has better eye appeal. Flip has “Ex-Farnell” on it. I've never seen a high grade one yet. I know there's a few out there so I'll look for number four.

Middlesex-Kempson's, D&H-49, MS-63 BN. Edge: plain Rarity: Fairly common. - Seem like NGC got the info wrong on this slab as they forgot to mention it's from Middlesex. Carlton House was a mansion in London, best known as the town residence of the Prince Regent for several decades from 1783. It faced the south side of Pall Mall, and its gardens abutted St. James's Park in the St James's district of London. The obverse of this token has watery fields with all the rainbow colors while the reverse is a even brown with the same watery fields, almost proof-like.

The fields are almost proof like and very reflective with some nice purple and blues scattered around. Sure the black areas are there in these pictures but when view with the naked eye they’re not black but a deep brown with a purplish tint.

Middlesex-Kempson's, D&H-59, MS-64 BN. Edge: plain. Rarity: fairly common - One of those nice London Penny Tokens from Kempson. You just don't hear the words Ironmongers anymore let alone Almshouse as shown on this token. Proof-like obverse, more brown than red but nice and evenly layered, while the reverse is about the same but for a nice ring of red on the inside circles edge.
