On 1/20/2023 at 11:32 AM, DrLarry said:John Cooke and Sons : these are described as advertising pieces . Rogers says the differences are mainly in the composition and the finishing. I have been fortunate last year or sometime during the lost years (covid years) to have found a small haul and this gave me a chance to sift through them carefully and I identified a number of variations in the design which I think gives us the six listed Rogers #'s 495 to 497a under section 17 of the book pages 62 and 63. These new variants I have found differ in the positioning of the legend letters and the size of the letters. There is also a variation in the die alignment as a medal strike and one as a coin strike. It would be interesting to understand the process of manufacture and pressing of these tokens in general and I will have to attempt to find out more information
The quality of these John Cooke and sons pieces is very high . If you have any please list them I will take photos over the following days.
A FEW PICS WOULD BE NICE

I notice instead of Carolus, Charles is known as charles on the new coins another really big break from tradition.

Heres an interesting To hanover counter dated 1862 with diferent sizes of datal figures one is masive and the other quite small - I imagine they were made by the same manufacturer.
-
The 1844 dated coins were almost certainly specially minted to present as a alternative to the then circulating change , it would be fair to imagine the were given away to lobyists , MP's and various others including the mint ,Probably as many as fourty were issued for this purpose , though it could be a lot lower than that . Many have been lost and only less than twelve are known now

Yes peter stood out on here always up for a laugh he did have two lovely daughters and a dog who he was very fond of , I surpose his daughters own his collection now but who knows.
He always had time for everyone on here and his advice to me is sorely missed at least by me .
RIP peter
