    Just curious what you think on this one and what estimated value you would place on it? I do not know much about them but it appears to still have some original luster.

    There are a few on Ebay for $65 to ~$200.
    Since they aren't completed sales I would take pricing with a grain of salt.
    I would expect it's worth a lot more than most modern Masonic tokens, which can often be bought for a few dollars.

    Nice Conder token. Traces of original mint red, there.

    I don't know the variety or the value or the D&H number, though.

    Found a few completed sales on Ebay with a search for "Prince Wales Elected Masonic Half-Penny Token 1790".
    A lot of them show "best offer accepted" without a specific price.
    Some with multiple bids went for £20, $35, £19.
    I didn't check in detail to see if it's the exact same design or if there are other varieties.

    well I bit on it at 83.23 and 10.00 shipping. I hope I did not overpay much but really liked the All seeing Eye

    I’d say you paid pretty strong money for it. Was it a BIN or an actual auction?

    Yes they had wanted 112.00 for it so I did not pay full price.It was much nicer the comparable ones on ebay for near the money so it seemed like a fair deal. Live and learn if not. It looks like mid AU to me

    I see this one on Heritage looks to be a lower grade as well but more coins.

    D&H lists it as common. There are many varieties for this one although I don't think any of them are particularly hard to get. I think you paid on the high side but the important thing is that you like it. Whether or not you overpaid is your opinion.

    Agree with @Chris B : so long as you like it at the price you were willing to pay that’s all that really matters.
