Not my worst deal on eBay by far! I managed to match the obverse die to another better example, though, to be fair, the reverse is pretty obvious anyway! One of a pair of coins for £25 Not a keeper, of course, but should offset something else in the wallet I hope?

there are a couple of tokens one by Lauer that sadly got away from me recently (but I was only half interested) permission to share from CoinWorldTV in Vienna Austria it's one of these Controlling your temper pieces but interestingly I have not seen one in white metal 3.8 gm 22mm I would think it to be aluminium or Tin ? if the date is correct it seems to be a very early use of VICTORIA's portrait very nice example of early Lauer . It is similar to the one in the whist box but those are gilt brass

One Farthing: #690 a second is listed in Rogers 691 with larger letters on the obverse and #696 is Brass with 1897 in exergue and a fourth #697 similar but in Copper the farthing is after the Trident in both

The Copper Half penny : Only one is listed in Rogers #685 no image is in Rogers as he had not seen one so it is hard to know which variety. In this one the HA is between the trident and helmet it is likely that there exists a version with the Half in small letters in full between the trident and the helmet and perhaps another with the HALF after the one ...I think this is new one unlisted perhaps using one of the lost numbers 680 to 685

Here's a rarity you will not find many of these around its a half farthing 1849
