Description
ND London W.2597, St Katharine’s, William Butler, Farthing Token, N.8387
A nice example of this scarce 17th century token issued by a grocer/apothecary in the City Of London. Worn but reasonably well detailed. Presented with old collector’s ticket.
O WILLIAM BVTLER IN S around cable inner circle, two sugar loaves within.
R KATHERINS GROSER around cable inner circle, B over WI within.
This token is listed in Dickinson as London 2597 and in Norweb as N.8387. I would grade this token Good Fine (Sheldon VF35). 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.
