elverno Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 1797 ½ Penny Token, Great Britain. 29mm - Details D&H 20 - Angusshire, Dundee A nice, if somewhat busy Conder marred by the obverse stain. There's a bit of weakness in the strike about 9 o'clock on the reverse. I like the sort of cartoonish man busy making flax. Without the legend to tell you that's what he's up to I would have said he's doing something very strange to a dead chicken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Agree about the chicken and the cartoonish man, busy but at least a lot of historical info, I like it. Great write up on your site. On the token it is spelt heckling not hackling, I guess either is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
