    It's Raining Cats and Dogs - Check out my new Conder Token!

    I picked this beauty up at the FUN show from Ron Sirna (who's also the ANA legal counsel). I just fell in love with these cute little guys, and couldn't resist buying this one, though it set me back quite a bit! I understand this design is one of the more rare Conder tokens and even more rare in this condition.

    If I remember right, wasn't Topcat a Saturday morning cartoon (we called them "cartoons" in my day, instead of "animation")

    So, just for you Topcat, here's another little kitty for your viewing pleasure (however, it's the same kitty just muled with a different obverse).

    Now get ready for the big debate 'twixt Cat People and Dog People as to which side is the "money side" !

    Ha! I was born and raised in SoCal and I've been hearing that since I was a little kid!

    Btw, here's another little kitty token ...

    Very nice tokens & cats. I don't have many Conder tokens or cat coins. Here is a cat from an Iranian coin:

    The color on the Penny Lady tokens is great. Here is some psychedelic toning on an Iranian lion which I traded away last year.

    Cynical

    dumb question

    What, exactly, is a token? Was it used as money, or what? And who is Conder? I guess I could look that up, but all the best experts are right here on CT.
