Description
1668 Essex W.223, Leigh, George King, Halfpenny Token, N.1311
A scarce 17th century token. Worn with an edge chip at 10 o’clock, but otherwise reasonably well detailed.
O: GEORGE KING around beaded inner circle, HIS HALF PENNY within.
R: IN LEIGH 1668 around beaded inner circle, three tobacco rolls within.
This token is listed in Dickinson as Essex 223 and in Norweb as N.1311. I would grade this token Fine (Sheldon VF20 details). 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.
