Cool, I'd like to see a scan of that one! Right now I am only interested in the Halfpennies, but may get into the Pennies one of these days.

Cool design. I'm amazed at the cost of most of these.

These seem dirt cheap to me Brett!

The Somerset 8 looks just like your 50. They used the same dies for both, the penny token is just twice as thick. I have a nice AU-58 or #8 that I bought off of eBay as a #50. The 8 is NOT as rare as D&H claims it to be though. They say RRR or maybe 6 - 10 pieces. I've seen 4 and Sriro records sales of 20 different pieces.

I got my Somersetshire 8 off of ebay also - from seller staplescoin. They had identified it correctly so I did pay a fair price for it.

While alot of what passes through eBay is of questionable value you always have to keep looking though the listings. Very nice examples keep turning up.
