Auction: 8017 - Important British 18th Century Tokens
Lot: 135

Surrey, Croydon, D. Garraway, Halfpenny, 1797, cypher DG, rev. teapot (DH.8 Bis), extremely fine, traces of lustre, extremely rare Estimate £ 200-250 PROVENANCE: Bought 1890 Struck from dies both in good condition. The reverse is from the same die as that of DH.7, which often occurs in rusted state. The sequence of issue of the Garraway tokens would appear to be DH.8, then DH.8 Bis, then DH.7 - an unusual instance of correct spelling (PAYABLE, HALFPENNY) being followed by incorrect (PAYBLE, HALFPENNEY)
