Description
1669 London W.1178, Golden Lane, Samuel Woodock, Halfpenny Token, N.7928
A nice example of this rare 17th century token which is the Norweb plate specimen. Worn but well detailed. Ex Quentin Archer Collection, Noonans, 22/4/2026, lot 335, and previously ex ex Norweb Collection, Spink, 28-9/3/12, lot 589, and R A Nott Collection. Presented with old tickets and Norweb envelope.
O: Samuel Woodcock in Goldinge Lane.
R: HIS HALFE PENNY around a beaded inner circle, a pair of antlers and W over SM within.
This token is listed in Dickinson as London 1178 and in Norweb as N.7928 where it is the plate piece. 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.
