<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2470266, member: 29751&quot;]After much patience, I found a nice example of the Oxfordshire DH-1 Halfpenny token for my collection.&nbsp; I admire the die work on the obverse detail, and I&#039;m fond of the lovely sun shield on the reverse. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Despite what the NGC label says, this is a halfpenny size token, not a penny size token.&nbsp; The diesinker was Arnold, and the manufacturer was Lutwyche.&nbsp; This is a very common token, and the edge reads <i>PAYABLE AT BANBURY OXFORD OR READING</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>c. 1795 (undated) Oxfordshire halfpenny token, NGC MS64BN</b></p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Conders/1790_Oxfordshire_DH1_NGC_MS64BN_composite_zpsbygjtvp0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Conders/1790_Oxfordshire_DH1_NGC_MS64BN_obv_detail_zpsu1fyftff.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
