Portsea (Hampshire) 1794 Sargeants 1/2d Conder - D+H#72
Offered is a wonderful and very scarce 1794 Portsea Halfpenny Conder token issued by George Sargeant, D+H#72. A deep mahogany patina draped over excellent detail and clean surfaces make this a highly collectible specimen. With D+H intimating around 200 extant examples, this would be a tough example to top. Interestingly, this piece displays the same die flaw through the top of the reverse as depicted in the plate in the aforementioned catalog. All in all, a superb example for the advanced collector or specialist alike!
