COMMUNION TOKEN SHOTTS 1756 SCOTLAND BROOK 999 SHOTTS KIRK 1756 / blank, square 20mm Good fabric, manufacturing crack, mostly Fine The Andrew Macmillan Collection of Scottish Communion tokens About three years ago Andrew Macmillan’s Collection of Communion tokens was offered for sale in a series of auctions by Simmons and Simmons. The Scottish Series was offered as a single lot of nearly 5000, which rather limited those who were prepared, or in a position, to bid. I think it was hoped that a museum or state institution would buy the collection and keep it intact. As it transpired I purchased the group. My initial intention was to keep the pieces together as I have always loved Communion tokens. I purchased them with my money and not that of my business. However, I have decided to offer them on Ebay over a long period, and at the end will produce a priced and illustrated record. Some of the pieces simply do not scan well, particularly those that are white, but it is worth remembering that where pieces are worn, they are still the best example Andrew was able to acquire in decades of collecting. All pieces are sold with Andrew’s tickets, which record the standard catalogue numbers (before Cresswell and Burzinski), the cost of the piece and the date of acquisition read more
