<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yarm, post: 1790712, member: 5795&quot;]A shortage of copper coinage in the UK around 1811 gave rise to yet another period when tokens were heavily used in commerce. Unlike the tokens of the Conder era (1787-1804), the tokens of 1811-1820 were usually of a simpler, less artistic design and more often pennies than halfpennies. There was no collecting mania for these later tokens, so it&#039;s tougher to find examples in uncirculated condition.</p><p><img src="http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n89/rwyarmch/Message%20board%2015/Merged1811CrownCopperCo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
