A nice example of this scarce 17th century token. Worn but with some detail remaining. Ex Quentin Archer Collection, Noonans, 22/4/2026, lot 317 and previously from R Gladdle, 8/2009. Presented with old tickets.

This token is listed in Dickinson as London 1174 and in Norweb as N.7924. 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.
