Here's your token Simon... Of course, I ended up finding it on Ebay 
The winning bid was £11.50. Nice find!
Middlesex, James Lackington, halfpenny, 1794. Bust of Lackington three-quarter facing. Reverse shows Fame blowing trumpet.
D&H 354
Extremely fine with traces of lustre
James Lackington (1746-1815) was a London bookseller with premises in Finsbury Square, reputed to be so large that a "mail-coach and four were driven round the counters at its opening" in 1793.An extremely wealthy man, he is best known for refusing credit under any circumstances.
