Hello,

 

I get this token and i don't find it in the catalog Numista.  There is a lot of varieties for this token.  I have found two pages about this token : 

- N#52791

- N#13479

 

The harp of my token have 8 strings and the inscription of the edge is  “PAYABLE AT DUBLIN CORK OR BELFAST ****”.  These doesn't fit with the description of the two pages.  I found this interressant article https://mhti.org/uploads/2/3/6/6/23664026/the_battle_of_the_tokens_1789-99._the_hibernian_mining_company_v._the_associated_irish_mine_company.pdf wich indicate that there are a lot of varieties and false coins. 

Must I create a new page for my token  or add a new line on one of the two pages ?

 

Here are some pictures :

 

weight: 7,9 g

diameter: 29,25 mm

composition : copper

 

Thank you for any information…

 

Sincerely,

 

Paul

It seems your coin was struck twice. I think the extra string could be a legacy of the understrike. ??

Oh yes! You are right: it is a double strike.

So I just need to add a line for the inscription "“PAYABLE AT DUBLIN CORK OR BELFAST ****”.

 

Thank you very much !

There are literally dozens of varieties of this type. The first link posted is for one of the specific varieties and this is not yours, since the list of edge varieties does not include yours. The other link is a generic page to cover all the different varieties and can be used for members to add their coin to their collection if they are unable to determine exactly which variety they have. My recommendation would be to search the Dalton & Hamer catalogue online here http://provincialtokencoinage.weebly.com/ find out which variety you have and create a new page on Numista, including photos of your token.

Hello,

 

This Token is a mess, there are duplicate listings all with different bits of information. I am currently deciding what to do.
