Description
ND Leicestershire W.53, Leicester, Thomas Sturges, Farthing Token, N.2846
A nice example of this 17th century token issued by a Leicester mercer. Worn but reasonably well detailed. Presented with old ticket.

R: MERCER IN LEICESTER around cable inner circle, S over TM within.
This token is listed in Dickinson as Leicestershire 53 and in Norweb as N.2846. I would grade this token Very Good (Sheldon F12). 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.
