That is a beautiful token Farthing, and I agree about it being the best design - it is so detailed. And Larry, I love those piggy tokens too! I...
yep, I love the critter Conders! Just bought another one here in Boston - it's a pretty deer, Wiltshire D&H 2b.
I did win several Conder tokens at the Stack's auction and can't wait to get them (I just missed the time cut off to pick them up in person, dang...
