    Ooh, that's a lovely example.

    Yarm is well known for having many great examples of tokens and medals, most Gem or Near Gem.

    Thanks Larry. I have around 10 pieces I have purchased from yarm over the last couple years. All "gem" in my book! :) Can't go wrong with "yarm" pieces, IMO. :D

    The link below provides a great wealth of information on my new Conder Token pickup.
    It is a RARE Conder Token Wiltshire Holt 11 MS64BN
    Along with providing a link I show an image of the old house now demolished and gone
    The Holt Spa
    Posted on Apr 2, 2011 in Social History, The villages |
    The commercial success of spa resorts like Bath and Buxton and on the Continent, like the original Spa in Belgium, inspired the hopeful development of numerous small spas. Taking the waters for health and the associated social scene became all the fashion. Water that was rich in iron salts was found at Holt in 1688 and the supposed benefits of drinking it were promoted widely, with a book being published in London by Henry Eyre in 1731. The water was bottled and sold as far away as London.
    To accommodate the visitors to the summer season at the spa, the Great House, or Spa House, was built around 1730. It was seven bays wide and three storeys high and made of brick with ashlar dressings.
    By the early 19th century the spa’s brief career was declining and the building became a private school and later was divided up into flats. From 1868 it became a glove factory, but in the middle of the 20th century it was becoming derelict and was demolished in March 1957.

    Nice one Stephanie. I was tempted to snag that one from Yarm also! Very nice piece.

    Thanks, I was disappointed I was a little late and missed the
    Warwickshire 269.
    .........it was a super nice looking one and since my background is in architecture I would have loved to have that one.

    I acquired this Conder Token recently from my favorite dealer, Bill McKivor.
    It's the second variety I have from this series of three tokens, not counting edge varieties, which I don't concentrate on. This token variety is considered Common.
    Of all that makes a token Rare is its edge, I am less than interested.

    Design rarity would interest me more. Designs can be easily shown in photos.

    Middlesex, Richardson's, DH 468, halfpenny.

    Proprietor Richardson found a woman named Goodluck and paid her to use her name
    to hype his lotteries, but she was not actually a partner.

    A notable diagonal die crack can be seen on most tokens of this series.

    well, you guys made me want one of these....thanks alot. ;)

    after wikipediaing a bit, i assume on the back the monogram is "PMC" Parys Mine Company?

    neat edge also, says "payable in anglessy london or liverpool"

    [​IMG]

    also wikipedia...but looks like agnlessy was a druid/celtic stronghold until boudica's revolt or there abouts, and a copper mining region back when controlled by the romans.
