Got locked in a vicious bidding war for this one. Spent more than I would have liked to, but its in a beauuutiful grade:

John-Wilkinson-Vulcan-At-Anvil---Top-Grade-Ef
Not so good, but I reckon it will be nice:
John-Wilkinson-Vulcan-At-Anvil---Top-Grade-Ef

3 rim dings, but no wear to speak of! Not sure if ill keep this one or my current one (its got traces of red left in the deeeep gouges put into it), but I reckon I got it cheap. Lets hear some guesses as to the price!

That's quite a special token. Quite difficult to get copper or bronze tokens with so little wear.

Silver tokens seem to come in higher grades. I have about six British silver tokens.
I am sacreligious! I should be collecting Australian tokens! They also have quite a following.

I DID have the British Museum example of the Mc Intosh & Degraves shilling in the palm of my hand once.
The Mc Intosh & Degraves Shilling token is worth a Google search and images, for those who may be interested. It is extremely rare.

Well this one isn't staying with me long. Its been polished - was probably UNC beforehand. Vulcan and Anvil side is still really nice, very very sharp, but Wilkinson's seen better days.

What was the price? Me personally I have no idea of the value these coins hold.
