The Conder Cabinet
"This website, launched in May 2004, is dedicated to the study and enjoyment of Conder tokens. It consists of high quality full color images of choice tokens donated to the site by persons interested in furthering the hobby of collecting these remarkable pieces of art and history. The goal of the site is to display a fine image of each major token type, arranged by county and DH number. The intent is not to portray minor die or edge varieties, although exceptions may be made for exceptional tokens. Likewise, a very rare issue may be represented by a pleasing image of a lesser grade specimen."

NOTES:
1. On the various types of tokens issued: Those tokens referred to above as "issued for general circulation" comprise two broad types. The first type being those issued by a specific entity, generally a merchant and giving specific instructions on where it could be redeemed for legal currency. The second type were those manufactured by an entrepreneur and sold to a merchant or other entity, at a discount, for use in making change or paying employees. Those tokens referred to above as "not intended for general circulation" were issued by collectors, dealers or for use as advertising or political and social commentary. Tokens of this type may or may not have circulated. In addition tokens were issued in very small amounts by some collectors for use in trade with other collectors. These are amongst the most rare of the series.
2. On the mintage figures cited: Where know, mintage figures are given. These figures are for the broad type and not the specific D&H number under which the figure is given.
ABOUT THIS PAGE:
All of the tokens shown on this page are from my personal collection and are not for sale. This collection is a work in progress and updates will be made as tokens are added or upgraded. The stated grades are my personal opinion based on my 25 years of experience as a numismatist. References to D&H refer to "THE PROVINCIAL TOKEN COINAGE OF THE 18th CENTURY" by Dalton and Hamer 2004 edition published by Spink & Son Ltd. of London in the United Kingdon and Davisson's Ltd in the United States.
