Title: Silver Bristol Trade Token Post by: GJH on August 13, 2016, 06:14:43 PM Found this silver token yesterday, I have found copper trade tokens before but never a silver one, I'll probably never find another one, it's 20mm in diam, thanks for looking.

Title: Re: Silver Bristol Trade Token Post by: GJH on August 17, 2016, 04:05:52 PM I sent all the details to my local FLO and asked if he could record it for me, reply came back, "probably wont record it", which was a surprise to me.
Title: Re: Silver Bristol Trade Token Post by: jaydogg on August 18, 2016, 02:11:48 PM They are indeed a rare enough find. I actually found one myself a few years ago, this is the only one I've seen posted here to my knowledge. Nice. 8)
Title: Re: Silver Bristol Trade Token Post by: JBM on August 18, 2016, 09:57:56 PM A really nice and also a unusual find.
Its years since I had the pleasure of handling a Silver Bristol Token. It needs recording at Bristol museum. ;) :) Jerry. Title: Re: Silver Bristol Trade Token Post by: GJH on August 24, 2016, 04:09:29 PM Thanks everyone for your comments, I know it's not got a lot of age, there is not one recorded in the Bristol or British museum, I thought it was an interesting find and part of the industrial revolution history, I will not try and record anything else on the PAS site other than anything that could be classed as treasure trove.
