<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 537054, member: 66&quot;]Toad I hate you.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That happens to be a piece I need for my own collection.</p><p>It&#039;s a D&amp;H 1065 and was a genuine trade token used as change (and for advertising) for admission to Pidcock&#039;s Exhibition.&nbsp; Pidcock had some thirty four different designs of half penny tokens struck and ten different farthing designs.&nbsp; There are three different farthings that combine an elephant obverse (two different dies) with a two headed cow reverse (two different dies).&nbsp; As I mentioned you have #1065 which is the first elephant obverse with the designers name under the elephant, combined with the first reverse that has small letters and a * between the cows horns.&nbsp; This die pair comes with a milled edge (1065) and with a plain edge (1065a).&nbsp; It also comes on thick and thin planchets.&nbsp; At 4.4 grams yours is probably on a thick planchet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1065a is an R-6 token (RR in D&amp;H) and the 1065 is considered common.&nbsp; (Then why can&#039;t I find one?)&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a rarity breakdown on the thick and thin planchets.&nbsp; I also do not have ay mintage information on the token.&nbsp; The tokens were designed by B Jacobs of London, and they were struck by William Lutwyche of Birmingham Warwickshire.</p><p>I[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
