<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 781137, member: 18157&quot;]Interesting story...I think he just dropped the sword out the window, it landed in an Ox cart, and when it reached Bevois Hill, it fell out and the cart ran it over...breaking it in two. That&#039;s what I think happened! :goof:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Late at night, (usually after a couple Jack&amp;Cokes) I&#039;ll bid on a Condor token or two...for something to do. I never intended to collect tokens, but have somehow put together a collection of about 60-70 that I really like.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What bothers me is that I have no idea what I&#039;m doing...other than collecting interesting old hunks of copper. I have no idea if these tokens are real and, if so, how to catagorize them into smaller collections that can be completed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve looked for some sort of reference book that list the various types of tokens and their relative rarity...like the &quot;Standard Catalog of United States Tokens 1700-1900&quot; by Russell Rulau...but I can&#039;t find one. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve found some <a href="http://www.wnccoins.com/0029.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wnccoins.com/0029.htm" rel="nofollow">helpful information </a>online but is this work complete? It would appear that these tokens were only made between 1791-1796. Why would so many millions of tokens be made, but only in those years...or are those just token dates (no pun intended). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was hoping someone could recommend a good reference guide to these interesting coins....thanks! :high5:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
