<p>[QUOTE="conderluva, post: 1283947, member: 21717"]Yes, you'd likely do much better contacting Bill McKivor. He's one of the bigger Conder dealers in the US and publishes a quarterly fixed price list. He'll be back from his trip to England in a couple days and will publish a new list shortly afterward. Jerry Bobbe and Gary Groll are two other very well known dealers in the biz. At any rate, I know some guys will actually buy stuff from Bill, slab-ify it and then post it on the 'bay. Also, most conder tokens trade raw. Some get slabbed in the US though to increase their marketability. But MS-63 is not surprising for a conder token. Genuine trade tokens were initially created to compensate for a lack of small change. They became collectible in the 1790s. So a good number survived in great condition. Many were also made specifically for collectors - and thus, didn't ever circulate. So, for many varieties, MS-60 thru MS-63 is par for the course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
