My first stab at a Conder Token

Aethelred · June 20, 2004 12:09PM

I bought this last week, I don't have a reference on these and have no idea what to pay or if I paid too much, but I like it so I bought it! In fact I don't even know when it was made, but I'd guess about 1790-1795 (perhaps Farthing can help with that question).

The edge reads "PAYABLE AT P. DECKS POST OFFICE BURY XX"

Catalogued as Suffolk Bury DH #26 Listed as common, Dalton & Hamer use the scale RRR, RR, R, Scarce and Common.

I also have this token, bought from Colin Cooke. Very nice looking!

It is safe to say that he has some competition!

Copper tokens are very cool. I have a small collection of Breton Canadian coppers. Like 'em a lot.

The Middlesex Richardson's lottery token was one of my first Conder purchases also. Cool!

I thought that was a neat one!

Poor Dead King.

He's a goner, now.

(I approve, though- those things are cool- I might acquire the habit myself, one day.)

Oh, and you should be careful about stabbing old tokens and coins. But if you do take a stab at one, use a small, sharp instrument, and put a small, tidy hole near the top. Then you'll know who to send it to.
