Post by: Dale on August 15, 2013, 09:52:20 PM Its always nice to find old tokens, they are worth a few £'s in good condition, and are very popular on Ebay.
I'm after a Bristol square farthing token myself, it was issued in Elizabeth 1st reign and is ment to be the earliest examples. Nice one Discrim Title: Re: ID please Doc.
