This specimen was lot 21087 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2019), where it sold for $780. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. Middlesex. 1/2 Penny Token, 1796. Denton's. PCGS MS-64 Brown Gold Shield. Denton's Collectors' Halfpenny. Obverse: Collector, smoking pipe, seated left at table covered with coins and medals; to right, old man placing a fool's cap on the collector's head; Reverse: Two boys racing on asses right with ASSES RUNNING FOR HALFPENCE; Edge Lettering: ANY SUM GIVEN FOR SCARCE IMPRESSIONS. Deep chocolate surfaces, with some hints of peripheral red. An exceptional, problem free example of this numismatically interesting satirical token -- one of the most famous in the series. From Jerry Bobbe in 2001, a token hand selected for quality; the Q. David Bowers Collection."
