MOON show purchases + new arrivals

I went to the MOON show today, Wybrit and Avarel summed up the availability of darkside coins well. There appeared to be more ancient dealers than foreign dealers this year. I did raid the junk box of my favorite dealer (at 25% off). I also bought 2 tokens today.

The following are 3 Conder tokens that were waiting for me when I got back home yesterday. These are the dealers photos, none of which capture the beauty of the coins as all 3 have highly reflective surfaces.

Warwickshire Coventry Kempson's DH #271

It would be interesting to see what one of our accomplished photographers could do with one of these tokens.

    Farthing, those Conder tokens are stunning!!! Wow, I love them. I don't know which ones I like best, but the reverse of the Black Friar's strikes me, as does the reverse of the Coventry's.

    Plus, you can send me that Montreal token post haste!!!!
