Token price needed

For a Dudley Penny token, D&H Worcs 5 in UNC. Thanks.

I would say $300-$350, depending on the amount of red (if any).

This year Bill McKivor has listed a #2 R/B @295, a #2 R/B 90% red @325, a #4 bronzed @295, and a #4 50% red @345 in his Conder price lists.

I do not know if the Dudley #5 is any more rare than the Dudley 2 or 4, all three are rated as Rare.
I have noticed what appears to be a bronzed #5 currently available from a very well known English dealer at a somewhat lower price though.

I just placed a bid on this one, These are his scans.

That is the #5 that I know of presently being offered. I do like it for the price being asked.

Thanks Made him an offer that he countered too. A good deal all around. I find the piece hauntingly beautiful.

Good pickup! I've only seen two of those, but both had concave reverses which made photography a bit more
challenging.

Your thread reminded me of the value of the dollar vs the pound these days, so I went ahead and made an offer
on Gladdle's Fullarton 1/2P. This "buy it now" or "best offer" is a departure from his usual auctions, but I like it.

rwyarmch - Congratulations to you also, that is a beautiful token!

Picture please when you get one. I'll post my own when it arrives. This being a scan will be better in camera.

I just found a sale by DNW of a Worcestershire 5 in their July 2005 sale that went for 130 pounds. From the picture it appears to be brown or possibly R/B and described by DNW as Extremely fine, attractive light patina.

Gotta love British grading standards, the picture shows what appears to be an UNC coin with lustre, would have loved to see it in hand.

They obviously don't come to market often Glad I was able to get it. To bad there is no Lion on it, maybe I can get a trade for a different lion.
