An attractive example of this 18th century Conder token which was issued to commemorate a prize fight between Perrins and Thomas Johnson (who was commemorated on D&H 12) which took place in Banbury on 22 October 1789. Lightly worn and well detailed with flashes of original colour.

This token is listed in Dalton & Hamer as Warwickshire 13 and in Withers, Token Book 3 as W.1499. I would grade this token Good Very Fine (Sheldon AU53). I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself.
For uncertified coins I provide a grading opinion using both the UK descriptive system and the Sheldon scale (based on ANA Grading Standards and/or PCGS Photograde) which will be better known to my US customers. I offer a grading opinion as a courtesy, but please examine the high resolution close up photos carefully and decide on a grade for yourself.
