Description
ND Berkshire, W.56, Newbury, Thomas Cowslade, Farthing Token, N.122
A scarce 17th century token issued by a Newbury grocer. Worn but with some detail remaining. Presented with old ticket.

This token is listed in Dickinson as Berkshire 56 and in Norweb as N.122. I would grade this token Good (Sheldon VG8). 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.
