<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbadexample, post: 3350304, member: 100740&quot;]I don&#039;t see the misspelling of the town name as any indication that the token is counterfeit. There are many Conder tokens which have the name misspelled, (or possibly an older form of a place name which evolves over time). Just off the top of my head, I can think of FOLKSTONE (for Folkestone), HYTH (for Hythe), DIMCHURCH (for Dymchurch) all on the Kent coast, and then RIPPON (for Ripon) and BEDAL (for Bedale, pictured) in Yorkshire. Literacy levels were hardly very high at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]887094[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The so-called &quot;genuine&quot; issues 231-237 all use the spelling HINKLEY where it is featured.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please don&#039;t misunderstand the point of my post - I&#039;m not saying that 238-246 are not counterfeit, or that what you&#039;re saying is not correct. I&#039;m just asking the question. Dalton &amp; Hamer make no mention of counterfeits.
