Newcastle (On Tyne) 1811 Bewicke Colliery 1d Token - Withers#885
Offered is a charming and substantial Penny token issued by the main colliery in Newcastle, Withers#885. Some typical weakness of strike on the obverse does not detract from this attractive example, which has remained free of any nasty dings (which are a common problem on this issue). Only a smidge of wear is visible below the mocha patina which at times gives way to russet hues.
