Description
ND Hampshire W.115, Newport (IOW), William Newland, Farthing Token, N.1916
A nice 17th century token from the Isle Of Wight. Well worn but with a little detail remaining. Presented with old ticket.

R: IN ILLE OF WEIGHT around cable inner circle, N over WG within.
This token is listed in Dickinson as Hampshire 11 and in Norweb as N.1916. I would grade this token Very Good (Sheldon VG10). 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.
