Nice grade of token.

 

Basement sale.

 

Here is one I just got.
1795 Somerset Bath House

 

Very nice grade!!!

 

A most excellent token. My wife and I visited Bath in 2000. Great place. She restrained me from taking a dip. Seriously, I do wonder what the water looked like when it was new.

Cheers,

 

After much patience, I found a nice example of the Oxfordshire DH-1 Halfpenny token for my collection. I admire the die work on the obverse detail, and I'm fond of the lovely sun shield on the reverse. Despite what the NGC label says, this is a halfpenny size token, not a penny size token. The diesinker was Arnold, and the manufacturer was Lutwyche. This is a very common token, and the edge reads PAYABLE AT BANBURY OXFORD OR READING.

c. 1795 (undated) Oxfordshire halfpenny token, NGC MS64BN

 

Very nice grade!

 

the same as now,the water you see fell on the mendip hills ten thousand years ago and has taken that time to reach bath,a very interesting city,with good coin shops.glad you enjoyed your visit

 

I found the inscription under the hospital interesting.

 

I found this thread with such optimism of seeing some Durham conders but only seen the one from @yarm

I sold a lot of my conders off too fund my main collection. I'm sure a lot of people know or can guess what that is from what I've posted in the past. But I retained some of my better ones to be used to swap possibly for more Durham types I only have the South Shields 1794 issue IIRC D&H4



I have x4 of these another without the die cracks around VF this one is my best but I'm always open to upgrading too

Will picture my others for this thread that are available for Durham issues.

 

Some real beauties guys , keep em coming .

 

Sorry for the poor photos of some I've heat sealed them into Mylar saflips for keeping.

Every single coin pictured here is up for trade for Durham conders.

Some I would be hesitant to get rid of because I really like them but at the end of the day as far as conders go I only want my home county.

 

I would happily be trading with you if I had any Durham tokens! Sadly not a single one, even though I was at University there in the 1980s.

 

Lovely place isn't it ? I quite like where I'm from even though I would emigrate somewhere warmer in a heartbeat.

 

Yes - very beautiful. I was fortunate enough to be at University College, which is housed largely in the Castle and known to everyone else as Castle College. As a result I lived my second year actually inside the oldest part of the castle at the top of the Black Stairs. Happy days!

 

Re:Conder tokens from County Durham

Other than DH 4,5,6 and 7, tokens from Durham are pretty hard to come by. Middlesex 123 is a scarce penny token which depicts Bernard's Castle in Durham.

There are a few 19th century tokens from Durham listed in Withers that can regularly be found. Here's a sample from ABC coins.

I know him well he belongs near me..

That Bernard's castle is actually spelt wrong it's called Barnard Castle. I know they're scarce but I did think there would more of them in this thread though.

 

here's one i picked up recently, edge says "payalbe in london bristol lanchaster"

 

My win in this weeks Baldwin's sale - not one you will see often - if at all. It was not cheap!
