<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 855085, member: 66&quot;]Gone&nbsp; for a few days and I almost missed a good Conder token thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let me make one correction, this token is definitely a mule and the obverse and reverse dies belong to two different organizations.&nbsp; The die calling for the reform of Parliment is actually a reverse die used for the tokens of the London Corresponding Society which as mentioned was focused toward reforms of Parliament with the aim of instituting govenment ideas similar to some of those espoused by the French Revolution.&nbsp; As you might expect they were not well liked by the government and were usually being investigated for sedition or treason.&nbsp; The other die is also a reverse die, this time for the tokens of the British Anti-slavery Society&nbsp; a completely separate group.&nbsp; These dies were muled by&nbsp; William Lutyche of Birmingham for the purpose of selling them to collectors.&nbsp; The mule comes with six different edge inscriptions, from tokens issued for at least four different counties.&nbsp; One of them, 289d is common.&nbsp; Two are scarce, and three of them are very rare (about R-6 on the Sheldon scale, 13 to 30 pieces known.)&nbsp; The piece in question here, 289a, is one of the very rare ones.&nbsp; Congratulations[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
