[QUOTE="yarm, post: 1030005, member: 5795"]Conder collectors will recognize this primary reference for Conder tokens. No reference book of 567 pages is likely to be devoid of errors, and Dalton & Hamer's book is no exception. The Summer 2008 issue of the [I]Conder Token Collector's Journal [/I] contained an article by John Fisher (sadly deceased) called "The World Turned Upside Down". In that article John summarized the results of a survey in which he asked several major Conder dealers and collectors to suggest, based on their experience, which tokens rated rare or better in D&H were actually just common or scarce and which tokens rated common or scarce were actually rare or better. A notable example from the first category (listed as extremely rare but really not) is Wiltshire 21, a beautiful token but always available and certainly not RRR. From the second category (scarce but actually quite rare) is Kent 2, a penny of Orpington. The article also highlighted a variety of typographical errors in D&H as described in the snippet below.
