<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 660446, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;ve picked up several rare die varieties of early large cents on eBay, and in the Conder token series so far my best purchases have been a Middlesex 9519 in Brass (it was misattributed), only two have appeared for sale in the past 28 years, mine is the finer of th two.&nbsp; A Shropshire 11, the only verified piece.&nbsp; I spent years looking for one but every time I found one it was misattributed.&nbsp; I finally started asking the major dealer if they had ever seen a Shropshire 11 that actually matched the pictures and description given in Dalton &amp; Hamer.&nbsp; No one had ever seen one and I was told it was an error in the book and didn&#039;t exist.&nbsp; Then I turned one up on eBay in Feb 2008.</p><p><br /></p><p>A Shropshire 13bis, the discovery specimen and currently still unique. (got my name in the standard reference for this one as the discoverer.)</p><p><br /></p><p>A Warwickshire 340bis, second one known and the finer of the two pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I won&#039;t retire on any of those but considering that is four R8+ coins and the most I paid for any of them was $50, I&#039;d say I got good deals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
