<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 448333, member: 66&quot;]Lancashire 135&nbsp; This was a Genuine Trade Token issued by John Fielding owner of both a storage warehouse and a grocery in the city of Manchester in the county of Lancashire.&nbsp; This token was apparently issued for his warehouse&nbsp; (His other token design specifically mentions the grocery.)&nbsp; There were 712,000 tokens (just a little under seven tons) issued of this design and they come with 12 different edge varieties.&nbsp; Apparently the coiner, William Lutwyche, used a lot of leftover planchets from other orders to strike Fielding&#039;s order.&nbsp; The dies were engraved by Roger Dixon of Birmingham Warwickshire.&nbsp; Rarity of this token varies widely depending on the edge inscription from very common&nbsp; through RR (R-6 on the Sheldon scale)</p><p><br /></p><p>Fielding issued a lot of tokens.&nbsp; His grocery accounted for an additional 1,415,000 tokens in 7 varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
