TOKEN - Royal Arsenal Cooperative Society Limited 1/2d [solved]

5 posts • viewed 50 times

I have just acquired ten RACSL 1/2d tokens, of which 5 are identical. Others have small variations in the  font size, actual wording (such as Co-operative instead of Co-op) and die impressions and diameter. Should these be listed as separate items or the variations listed under the same reference?   

Hello 🤖

 

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

 

Please note that this is an automatic message. Feel free to ignore if it is not relevant.

Please see attached photo. Please offer your opinions.

 

The first item is unabbreviated text with ‘LIMITED’ in the centre and is in the catalogue.

The second item is in accordance with a  Catalogue entry I think. All others have abbreviated text i.e.

ROYAL A. CO-OP SOCY . The word ‘LIMITED’ is not in the centre.

Other variations include different font sizes and shapes, diameter variations, no “double dots” under the ‘D’ on number 5 and SOC instead of SOCY.

Number 3 is just a poor die impression.

There are at least two tokens in the catalog with different diameters:

N#137585

N#149861

Thanks for your input, I believe there are 3 different iterations for this value.

I shall measure, weigh and check details, as I have at least one more variant to add.
