Auldfartte's 1795 Token, featuring York Minster and Clifford's Tower





OR


Auldfartte's 1853 Victorian Penny?

1853 Penny

Token

The token pour moi.

1795 York Token

I am actually surprised that I voted against that seated Britannia.

Token for me.

I just voted for the regular issue coin again, it's my default option.

Although i must admit i always liked York and thus it nearly got my vote on that reason alone. Now if it had been Lincoln for instance the token would have got my vote.

I hate voting for one person over another, but at least the same coin owner owned both. The York token is just too desirous, even over the lovely halfpenny.

The York token. How nice details!!!

Yorkie

Penny for me.

Its not even a penny, its a halfpenny lol.

It's a halfpenny? Have i put it in wrong!


Oh boy...

Okay the halfpenny.

No just been and checked Auldfartte put it down as a penny and thus at least it's not my mistake... phew.

'Tis a penny

This surprises me because HPJ usually can tell the difference between a penny and a halfpenny just from the picture. I wouldn't have known any better either way with these young head coppers.

Either way, Voting has ended and the York token wins!

Trust me, its a halfpenny

Just looked in Coincraft, i do believe HPJ is right.

Auldfartte's how big is that coin?

If it's 34mm then it's a penny, if it's 28mm then it's a halfpenny.

1795 York Token! Wow, I like that token! How much for one?
