Description
1667 Shropshire W.71, Shrewsbury, John Brigdell, Farthing Token, N.3912
A nice example of this scarcer 17th century token. Worn but reasonably well detailed.
O: IOHN BRIGDELL 1667 around beaded inner circle, Tallow Chandler’s Arms within.
R: IN SALLOP CHANDLER around beaded inner circle, HIS HALF PENY within.
This token is listed in Dickinson as Shropshire 71 and in Norweb as N.3912. 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.
