Cornwall-Penryn, D&H-4,PF-65 BN. Edge: plain. Rarity: Common. Diesinker/Engraver: Listed in D&H as Ponthon. Listed else where as Kuchler. Manufacturer: Boulton at Solo mint. - Somewhat of a common token but not in this grade. The die maker did an out standing job on this token as everything is razor sharp. Lots going on in this token and well worth a close look if you ever get the chance to get your hands on one. Obverse: The complete arms of Lord de Dunstanville supported by two unicorns: "PRO REGE ET POPULO - LORD DE DUNSTANVILLE COLONEL". Reverse: The arms of Penryn surmounted by a plumed helmet and surrounded by military trophies: "PENRYN VOLUNTEERRS FIRST INROLLD APRIL 3 1794". Plain edge. Pedigree: J. Bobbe, Token Examiner- April 1998, $195. Gimby Collection 2006, $195. (Note: Registry web page lists this as a MS -65 but slab shows PF-65, which it is.)

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.

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.

PCGS MS 64 Brown

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

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.

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.

NGC TOKEN MS 62 BN
|
Middlesex - Kempson's, D&H - 71, MS - 62 BN, Edge: I promise to pay..., Rarity: scarce. If not for a bad stain on the reverse I great looking token. The first fixed crossing at Blackfriars was a 995 feet (303 m) long toll bridge designed in an Italianate style by Robert Mylne and constructed with nine semi-elliptical arches of Portland stone. Beating designs by John Gwynn and George Dance, it took nine years to build, opening to the public in 1769. It was the third bridge across the Thames in the then built-up area of London, supplementing the ancient London Bridge, which dated from several centuries earlier, and Westminster Bridge. It was originally named "William Pitt Bridge" (after the Prime Minister William Pitt) as a dedication, but its informal name relating to the precinct within the City named after the Blackfriars Monastery, a Dominican priory which once stood nearby, was generally adopted.

Update, I have seen a couple more of these in the last few years, one even higher graded than this one so maybe we can toss out the RR but still think a rating of R is justified.

Middlesex-Spence's, D&H-804c, MS-64 BN. Edge: plain. Rarity: fairly common. - Nice even brown glossy token with the hand in heart reverse. Okay, you tell me, is that a picture of John Madden on the right? It is. I knew that guy was old but not that old. I guess it was time for him to retire. Good luck John, we'll miss ya.

Middlesex-Spence's, D&H-1081, MS-64 BN. Edge: milled? Rarity: scarce. - Hard to find a little token thats as pretty as a button. This one has a little red highlighting the pig. Can't get a scan of it as it sits to deep in the slab. Check out the next token for something a bit bigger.

Norfolk-Norwich, D&H-40, MS-63 RB. Edge: John Harvey...X X . Rarity: Scarce. - Another Accugrade token switched over to NGC. Sure is a difference in the info presented on the tabs. Really nice looking token ,so much so that I was thinking it would come back as a MS64. I also have this same token in a NNC holder graded PR-66RB. While it does have proof-like fields I don't think this is a true proof but just a early strike from new dies.

Somersetshire-Bath, D&H-4,MS-62 BN PL. Edge: plain in collar. Rarity: scarce. - Well, I don't know. NGC has it labeled as a 2 pence but D&H has it listed under Pennies and say nothing about it being anything else. The size alone would indicate it being a two pence token. The reverse has a nice blue sheen to it. Has the look of a bronzed token. The Abbey Church on the reverse is just grand and a piece of art that shows well on the big planchet.

Somersetshire-Bristol, D&H-89, MS-65 RB. Edge: Oblique milling ///, Rarity: Common. - So close to being a red token. A few of the high points and some lettering have toned but it's 95% red. Come on NGC, it's 219 years old. There is just a bit of die clash showing on the reverse, a couple of the windows on the right side.

NGC MS 64 TRB

Suffolk-Ipswich, D&H-11, MS-64 RB. Edge: I Promise to pay... One Penny. Rarity: R - James Conder (1763–1823) ran a drapery business in Ipswich in the 18th century. He was one of the first people to catalogue the 18th Century independently minted copper trade coinage that now often bears his name as a category of coins known as Conder Tokens. He published the first catalog that would remain the definitive source concerning these coins for almost 100 years. He did not simply study the Tokens, he was a contemporary businessman who also issued his own Tokens to advertise his business. What a great token. I also have the half penny token listed later (D&H-35). I just could not get a good scan of the obverse so here's a picture I found on the web.

Suffolk-Woodbridge, D&H-15, MS-64 RB. Edge: Published by R. Loder 1796 .X.. Rarity: Common. - I don't know about this token being common as this is the only mint state one I've ever seen. Nice big token with a full reverse. Nice hat dude. The edge states this is from 1796 but NGC says 1790's. Sekford was honored for making maps of Suffolk at his own cost in 1574. The toning line across the reverse looks as if a piece of string had layed on it for awhile.

Suffolk-Blything, D&H-19, MS-65 BN. Edge: God save the King and Constitution.XX. Rarity: Common - I broke this one out of a ACG slab knowing it would grade the same at NGC.NGC changed it to a brown where as Accugrade listed it as RB. There's not a lot of red and it's right on the line but I would have said RB on a MS65 token.

Suffolk-Ipswich, D&H-35, MS-65 RB. Edge: Milled \\\. Rarity: common. - Common, hmmmm, okay, I have seen several of these around but 65 R&B. Not common in this grade. OMG, do I need a good camera as this token would look great. The reverse die for this token broke after striking and was then used for Suffolk 36 after adding the date 1796. After striking both half pennies it was then use as the reverse die for one of the penny tokens of Conder (D&H-11).
