Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 03:27 am Got up early this morning to bid on this. Only bidder...got it for 99p. Plus the extortionate postage price of Â£2.50. Here it is - an advertisement for Warren's Blacking - for keeping shoes supple and shiny. The coin shows a fighting cock admiring its reflection on a gentlemans boot. If you can look carefully you can see the obverse is a guy shaving using a boot as a mirror. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 04:06 am doesn't bother me too much...doesn't block the main design and holed coins are coins I can afford. The guy has a lot of other stuff for sale I'm going for in the next few days so I wont get this in hand for a while. I like the chicken design though. Suprised it isn't a more populart token.

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 04:23 am My only token from the uk that is not slot machine related is this one. looks like a bit of corroded junk but I like it it was found in the cellar of a pub. the pub it turned out used to be owned by the issuer of the token. I like tokens in general they say a lot about the times when they were in use. Edited by nohope587 05/16/2013 04:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
