[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1289727, member: 66"]For the last three years DNW's Conder token sale in October has been mainly the Robbie Brown collection. Next year will be the fourth and last part, Anglsey & Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and his duplicates. This is what I picked up in the DNW sale this year. Lot 132 This was a sleeper in my opinion, and it is misattributed. They called it a mule of the obv of Midd 913 and the rev of 915. The reverse is actually 916, and the obv is NOT 913. In fact it isn't anything. It is an unlisted die. So we have a new unlisted die on a silver token! I don't know how they confused this obverse with 913.
