British Tokens, Eighteenth Century Tokens, Middlesex, C. Ibberson, restrike halfpennies, undated (4), St George and dragon, small boar crest, C. JBBERSON, rev. MAIL & POST COACHES TO ALL PARTS OF ENGLAND within wreath (DH.343 bis, in white metal); obv. similar to previous but reads G. JBBERSON, rev. as previous (DH.343 - 3, in bronzed copper, brass, and white metal), extremely fine or better, with some original colour, the DH.343 bis from the flawed obverse die, reverse with a few rim nicks (4)
*second and fourth ex A.W. Jan
the lot ex Baldwin's vault
These restrikes are by W.J. Taylor, c. 1870. Among the other old Soho mint punches and dies that Taylor acquired (see Peck, p. 221ff.) was a punch of the Ibberson 'small boar' obverse, which he reworked. The two restrike types both differ from the original striking in that St George's armour lacks detail, his horse is without a saddle-cloth, his spear extends to below the horse's hind left leg and the dragon is scaleless. The reverse die common to both was entirely new.
Estimate: 130-180 GBP
