    Curious on this one? The coin looks pretty good to me but has a Carbon spot under the scroll . Do you think this would detail this coin?
    To me looks AU otherwise.

    Not my expertise, but I think the first coin is details, cleaned with whatever that other issue is. The second one is dark, but appeals to me :)

    I agree with @Seattlite86. I hate cleaned coins except ancients.

    I collect Conder Tokens, and to me, the first one is obviously cleaned so it would get a details slab while the second one looks original. I'd buy the second one, but definitely not the first. Just my humble opinion.

    Like Auld Fartte, I am, as well as a Conder token collector from the way back machine. Go for #2, I mean the second one. Been collecting over 20 years. Fun stuff.

    I've just recently gotten into Conder and post Conder tokens. I'm in agreement with the others. I like the second one.

    I'm not convinced the first has been cleaned but it's a terrible strike compared to the second. The lettering's rubbish.

    Second one looks lovely to me. :)

    I think it may just be the lighting and how it is photographed on the first , as all that sellers coins show similar lighting , The second coin was alot cheaper too so I rolled the dice and am hoping it looks around AU-50 US grading or VF UK grading when I get it in hand and if it does not then I am not out much. I think I will have 40.00 US into it including shipping
