More from Gloucestershire Badminton - all are scarce I have several others with no photos. DH 26 - the first one I bought from this county DH 47 - From ebay seller oldcoins432 (Malcolm Taylor - I miss him greatly)
Just to show that I collect Conder tokens in all condition - Middlesex Pidcocks DH 1071 - This does seem to warrant its rarity of RRR as I've not come across any auction references to this variety and it is not illustrated in D&H, only described. Middlesex Pro Bono DH 1168 - rated common, a recent purchase on ebay
Some Thomas Spence tokens Middlesex Spence 691 (RR) From Alan Davissson ex. Francis Cokayne Middlesex Spence 896 (R) From NEN in a MS63 suit Middlesex Spence 1083 (C) farthing token Middlesex Spence 1095a (S) farthing token From Alan Davisson ex.

A few more Middlesex tokens (actually penny size medalets but these are included in the Conder series). Middlesex National Series DH 201 in white medal (S). From Jerry Bobbe/Larry Gale ex. R. C. Bell. This is the plate coin for the variety in R. C. Bell's book Political and Commemorative Pieces Simulating Tradesmen's Tokens 1770-1802 Middlesex National Series DH 204 (C) from Tony Fein Middlesex National Series DH 211 in white metal (RR) - much better looking in hand than this scan appears.

From last years Baldwin's Auction #26. One of my favorite tokens that I own.
You guys really have some impressive tokens! Let's keep it going. I like this token because it shows one of the ways society has changed. It promoted the whaling industry of that time.
Hello everyone! I've just today joined this forum. I'm from Bath in the UK, indeed just like the token that started this thread. So, I've only been collecting for a year or so and my three areas are : Bath tokens (of course), military tokens and lastly Pidcocks - who actually doesn't collect Pidcocks, these must be by far the most popular tokens of all for collectors. Here are tokens for each of those areas. Richard.
Hi Richard, Welcome. Always good to see another Conder collector around. Look forward to seeing more of your posts here on CT. Don't know how acquainted you are to coin forums but if you are into Conders you should also checkout CoinZip.com There is a nice section there dedicated to Conder tokens. Here's a Bath token I used to own. Somerset DH 5. Nice design and the amount of copper in the penny planchet allows for a nice strike as opposed to the typically weaker strike of the Somerset DH26 which was struck from the same exact dies but on a halfpenny planchet. Sorry for the poor photograph...but it's all I have of this one.
Welcome, Richard...those are some dandies! Since you're from Bath, here is another Bath token in your honor. :hail:
Nice tokens Riichard! A few of my Bath tokens. Somersetshire Bath #40 (C) off of ebay Somersetshire Bath #84 (RR) from an ANR auction in 2006. Somersetshire Bath #112a (C) a farthing token off of ebay
Hi guys and thanks for the welcome. Here are another couple - Warks 27a and what I believe is a particularly rare Bath token - Walcot Turnpike Somerset 45 Richard PS, haven't learned the technique yet of combining obverse and reverse into one photo - do you need a special piece of software for that?
Beautiful Pidcock's token Richard, I am quite envious. I am still hunting for a Wanderow... :kewl: Do you have a photo of the other side so we can identify it? It could be a D&H #425 (RRR), a #431 (C) or a #453 (S) with the wanderow on the reverse. Or a D&H #457 (R) or #458 (S) with the wanderow on the obverse. Oddly enough the common one (#431) is my favorite design-wise.
Richard, For photo editing (adjustments to color balance, brightness & contrast, and combining both sides into one photo) I always use Photoshop. There are probably other software programs that accomplish the same thing. Those are very nice tokens!
