<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 35954, member: 283&quot;]Aidan, I may have misread Seaby but not that much. The only Bristol token listed in Seaby as having the Plumes is Somersetshire number 41. The only one listed as having the reverse with Merthyr 5th sept. etcetera on it is number 46 (listed as extremely rare) However, on re-reading the listings if I read it correctly this time, D5 should have the Arms of Bristol obverse as opposed to the plumes. BTW in seaby there isn&#039;t one listed with a foundry on it for Bristol.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only one listed for Merthyr with the 5th Sept reverse is Glamorganshire number 1 ....but that one *has* a foundry on the obverse..... number 8 has the plumes obverse but the reverse is for Messrs Lewis, Morgan and Williams etc. So no pairing listed there either.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words as far as Seaby is concerned neither Somersetshire nor Glamorganshire has a token listed with the obverse and reverse pairing that you originally mentioned. </p><p><br /></p><p>The token is either an exceedingly rare hybrid or so exceedingly common that they didn&#039;t think it merited being catalogued...or possibly even a contemporary counterfeit (but I doubt that). </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, but that&#039;s as much as I can glean from Seaby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
