Description
ND Essex W.167, Dunmow, Edward Keatchener, Farthing Token, N.1259
A nice example of this scarce 17th century token issued by a Dunmow locksmith. Worn but reasonably well detailed.
O: EDWARD KEATCHENER around cable inner circle, crossed keys within.
R: OF DVNMOW LOKSMITH around cable inner circle, monogram within.
This token is listed in Dickinson as Essex 164 and in Norweb as N.1255. I would grade this token Fine (Sheldon VF20). 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.
