  1. A very nice example, much better than mine. Well done. I've put my 'unofficials' on the back burner at the moment choosing to concentrate on the 18th century ½ pennies, particularly the Kempson tokens
  2. I've not got an example of this one yet and not seen any. A nice token, well done
  3. I have sent a picture of this one and one other to them but in their reply they said there was no plans at present to issue a revised catalogue
  4. An example of W5062 Thomson hatters. I have two or three others where withers don't have a picture
  5. I do have a couple, will find them out and add some pics later
  6. Top W2680, this is one of my favourites. Simple design but tells you all you need to know. Bottom W2190. Only listed as R but this is the only example I've ever seen
  7. Assuming again I'd of thought they'd all of been gilded and you bought and had stamped however many you wanted
  8. A couple of my unofficial farthings, having an issue with sizing as only got my phone for pics at the moment. The rather worn example is W4640, listed as RRR with no picture while the other is a more pristine example of W4959b
  9. This is one of the ones I have, as you say probably a gaming counter. I'm assuming, possibly wrongly, that you bought the blank piece and had stamped on your initials or own design
  10. Yes I've been collecting them for the past 4 or so years now, I have around 250. It started off with a random one which i bought for a fiver, it turned out to be quite scarce. I started looking for them then and I've been lucky in picking up some of the rare ones. I'll post a few pics on my next day off if your interested
  11. A nice pick up, some of the unofficial farthings are very scarce. Even some of the ones listed in withers as relatively common can be hard to find in a decent grade. Is it an area you collect much of or just ones of interest?
  12. Well done, I think we're slowly getting there! I'm awaiting delivery of 'Jerusalem temple' should arrive in the morning
  13. From R.C. Bell's 'The Building Medlets of Kempson and Skidmore' 'St. Mary's Hall was originally built as a meeting and banqueting place for three of the city guilds, St. John's, Trinity, and St. Katharine's. Building began about 1340-2 while the Great Hall itself was started in 1394 and finished in 1414. Later it became used for Corporation festivities, and sometimes as a theatre. The building was extensively repaired in 1580 and in 1753 the old brick floors were removed and replaced with oak planking' It also states that 'A few of these pieces were struck in silver' but doesn't list which ones
  14. Yes they are, although the Bath series seems to be scarcer. I've only seen a couple of those. I believe it's just the picture, there is a 6 in the exergue though
  15. A new series started, Kempson Coventry half penny
  16. Another Spence 'Oddfellows' token, bought today at the Malvern flea fair
  17. A nice example, slightly better than mine. Is there any edge inscription?
  18. Not to worry @Rob
  19. It's only the second I've come across, the other was listed as fair and 'quite battered' Still available as far as I'm aware if your interested
  20. When I bought the token this ticket relates to the dealer told me it was possibly from the Jan collection, I've checked the 'ticket central' thread and there's nothing there that matches that I can see. Can anyone confirm it is Jan or shed any light on it? Thanks all
  21. Well it's been an expensive month and the coin fund is now officially bankrupt after this purchase. D+H199 Ottley reverse. Apologies for the over exposure, took several shots and happy with none of them
  22. @Paulus I did wonder if it was you who bought it, I got the 'new brass works' the same week
