[QUOTE="Catbert, post: 608674, member: 12718"][b]Ah Ha![/b] jello - from your pictures then, the edge inscription should read "PAYABLE AT BIRMINGHAM LONDON OR BRISTOL". If that is the case, then it is the variety 135a according to the Dalton and Hamer reference book. This is a common variety of 9 different possibilities. The 135 series is considered a general trade token and there were about 712,000 made according to Arthur Waters text "Notes on Eighteenth Century Tokens". It should not be given a sales premium for this particular variety. The edge inscription is critical to determining the variety and this, along with condition, is crucial to determine value. It's a nice piece and I hope you hold on to it![/QUOTE]
