Hampshire 1811 shilling token D-35

Stack's Bowers February 2023 Collector's Choice sale, lot 75156

This specimen was lot 75156 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2023), where it sold for $384. The catalog description^[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. Trade Tokens. Hampshire. Portsmouth. Silver Shilling Token, 1811. PCGS AU-58. Milled edge. Pale argent and steel gray surfaces remain fresh after over two centuries of survival. Complete luster stretches across both fields and devices, though there is perhaps just a little too much handling for PCGS to consider a Mint State grade. An ideal and somewhat necessary acquisition for numismatists who want to build Shilling Token sets. From the David Sterling Collection." Altho we have filed this with the Conder tokens, it is not, being silver and issued after the publication of Conder's book.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: Dalton-35; Davis-30.
