A nice example of this scarce 17th century token which was absent from the Norweb collection. Worn and on an uneven flan but otherwise well detailed.

This token is listed in Dickinson as London 920 and is unlisted in Norweb. 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.
