Let's see your Conder Tokens

The greater wear may be typical of the series, being from Scotland,
where it might have remained in circulation until perhaps 1802-04. : )

I was not familiar with your issue, but am more familiar now than an hour or two ago. LOL

Thanks. : )

BTW, D&H lists your Montrose DH-30 token as Rare, meaning fewer than 75 struck, or so.

That is, indeed, the inscription on the edge

 

Given the number I have seen listed on eBay over the years (all in the same or worse condition) I believe the Angusshire #30 token to be more Scarce the Rare. I have one in my collection also.

 

Here's a piece from the second Robbie Brown sale by DNW in October.
It's a penny size "ticket" by Westwood for the Buck Society-Middlesex 230.

(There were 1210 tokens from Brown in that sale (including 49 Pidcock's!)
and some hundreds more from other consigners. I've seen only a handful
appear on the boards so far. Who's got 'em? )

 

I love the color of this one.

 

Great acquisition, yarm. Wow.

I have only the 1041, but sure do like your example of the 230 penny/medal.

Even enlarged I cannot make out the last part of the text in exergue on the obverse.

It reads Westwood _________ . ???

I bought nothing from the DNW sale, but have a piece lined up, just one markup later.

 

Larry, the last word is fecit. Often this is abbreviated on medals as Westwood F.

I don't recall the exact translation from latin but I read it as "made it"

 

Wow...that's a beautiful Buck Society token yarm!

Going through my NGC slabbed conder tokens I noticed that I have 2 tokens that are sequentially numbered within the same submission. I bought these 2 tokens bought at different times from NEN:
Submission 3154034-006 - MS65BN Middlesex National #972



Submission 3154034-007 - MS63BN Middlesex Spence #896



I wonder what else was included in submission 3154034 and if anyone else here has a token from this group?

 

IDK but they are stunning.

 

"I wonder what else was included in submission 3154034 and if anyone else here has a token from this group?"

The other Conders in that submission (none of which I own) were
3154034-001 Middlesex 1151 63RB
3154034-003 Warwickshire 269 63RB PL
3154034-004 Middlesex 362a 64BN
3154034-005 Cambridgeshire 17a 64 BN

 

the coin in my avatar is the reverse of the 1792 liverpool halfpenny token............

 

I'd love to see that Warwickshre 269 - the Kempson Coventry tokens are among my favorite series.
A interesting and diverse set of tokens in that submission.

 

Anyone else win a coin or token from Allan Davissons' latest mail bid auction (#29)? A very nice selection of farthings was part of the conder tokens in the auction, including a complete run of Anglesey farthings, several of which were D&H plate coins.

I won the Dublin Murphy's D&H 399 token but it did cost me $100 more than the estimate. I lost out on what appeared to be a very sweet Middlesex National #968 where my bid 40% over the estimate was not enough.

 

I was discouraged by my poor results in previous Davissons' auctions, so I passed this time.

Nevertheless, I had a Warks 269 (ungraded) to show, so here it is. Terrific detail on the tokens in this series!

 

That one is very nice Yarm.

 

Dublin Murphy's #399 that I just won in the Davisson mail bid auction. The images are from the .pdf file of the catalog and cannot possibly do justice to the piece. Absolute mint state with mirror surfaces, the bowl is struck in high relief.
I've ordered 2 other tokens from the auction that were on the remainders list of items that did not sell. A Westwood half halfpenny token from Cheshire and a South Wales token that once was in Wayne Anderson's collection. Looking forward to receiving both.

 

this is my first condor token. i know the pics are bad but ive got nothing to transfer it to atm. it cost me about 8-9 bucks.

 

Lugia - congratulations on your first Conder token! You're starting at about the same place I started, with tokens that circulated and served their original purpose - in commerce!

Yours looks to be catalogued as Hampshire Portsea #72 but it is a bit hard to determine from the pictures. Each die used was hand created so there are small differences between the varieties catalogued. There are 3 varieties with the spear pointing to the end of the A in PORTSEA - Hampshire 70-72. #72 will have single leaves in the sprigs of leaves under the ship while 70 & 71 will have both single and double leaves. Also, in varieties 70-71 the pendant at the top of the main mast extends further under the B of PAYABLE.
