British Tokens from the Collection Formed by the Late Jeffrey Gardiner
BRITISH TOKENS, 19th Century Tokens, NORTHUMBERLAND, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, John Bell, Farthing (?), 1815, in lead, city arms, rev. shop-front, edge plain, 8.93g/12h (Davisson, CTCJ 66, p.7; W p.134; D 18). Very fine and extremely rare; sold as viewed and not subject to return £100-200
---
The status of this piece is uncertain. Withers opined that it is a fantasy struck for collectors (of whom John Bell was one) but Davisson has shown that it is apparently of the period, or at least dates to some time in the early 19th century
