Description
ND London D.1291A, Grub Street, Edward Potter, Farthing Token, N.-
A rare 17th century tavern token which was absent from the Norweb collection. Worn but reasonably well detailed. Ex Quentin Archer Collection, Noonans, 22/4/2026, lot 313 and previously ex J L Wetton Collection, Spink, 29/11/1989, lot 190. Presented with old tickets.

This token is listed in Dickinson as London 1291A and is unlisted in Norweb. I would grade this token About Fine (Sheldon F15). 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.
