Description

The 1714 Gloucester shilling is a token from Gloucester County, Virginia. The Gloucester token is a brass piece dated 1714 from Gloucester County, Virginia. Its legend is only partly readable; it has been tied to a Richard Dawson, and Eric Newman suggested a partnership of the Peter Richeson and Samuel Dawson named in county records. Crosby described it as a pattern, but Newman took it for brass token money. Newman knew two examples in 1956, one of them illustrated by Crosby. Cataloged as PCGS #88.
