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.

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-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.

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.

Warwickshire - Birmingham, D&H - 147, MS-61 BN. Don't know where that MS-61 came from, It looks like a solid MS-63 to me. Semi-profflike fields, touch of mellow red poking out here and there, a few ticks but very small ones. Okay, so the rims may be a bit crude, but MS-61, give me a brake. This token starts a series of Churches and Chapels by Kempson that end at D&H 218. Other than the Coventry tokens, to follow in just a bit, this is my favorite series and I'll be trying to get one of each. So sit back and enjoy most of this series.

This was done around 1931-32 when a second session of restoration took place and the gardens around the gate were built. Photographs from 1910 show Cook Street gate with a flat open top while the present day photo shows the battlements replaced. This is the 6th token of the series.

|
NGC MS 64 BN
|
Warwickshire-Coventry, D&H-288, PF-64 BN. Edge: Coventry Token. Rarity: scarce. - I always have a hard time telling a proof token from a Bronzed token.To me a proof token should have proof-like fields and the design device should be something less than proof-like. A bronzed token should be even proof-like on everything and have that deep water-like shine to it along with that chestnut color. NGC calls this a proof I'll call it a bronzed proof. Shown is the Hall today with a little info about it.

|
NGC MS 65 BNP
|
Warwickshire-Coventry, D&H-291, MS-65 BN PL. Edge: Coventry Token. Rarity: Scarce. - Ouch, this token is so nice it hurts to look at it. Hurts so good that is. The proof-like fields just flow with a blue toning. If not for one small fly speck on the field this would have been a MS-70, well, maybe a 66. When I sell this on eBay or in the CTCC journal this is one you should pay a lot of money for. It's a killer.
