My new coin!! Conder?

My new toy!! I have absolutely no idea what it really is. This is a conder? Yes?

Almost all of the marks are on the plastic. I should rip it out of that old holder.

Enjoy!!

    It is a Conder token. It is a little hard to tell exactly what it is because that design was used in three different counties. You have either an Essex 36, a Middlesex 967, or a Sussex 2. All thee of these used the same obverse and reverse dies and the only difference was te edge inscription.

    If it says WARLEY CAMP HALFPENNY .X.X.X. It is Essex 36 WAREY CAMP HALFPENNY MDCCXCIV .X.X.X. Is Essex 36a

    If it says BRIGHTON CAMP HALFPENNY .X.X.X.X. then it is Sussex 2

    The Middlesex tokens can have four different edges

    PAYABLE AT W GYE'S PRINTER BATH X.X is 967

    PAYABLE AT IOHN SAWYER'S ROMNEY.X. is 967a

    PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR BRISTOL is 967b

    PAYABLE AT THOMAS BUNDOCKS is 967c

    Essex 36 is common 36a is scarce

    Sussex 2 is common

    Middlesex 967 is scarce 967a is RRR 967b is common 967c is RRR

    Mintage for Essex 36 is unknown These were made for use in the camp.

    Mintage for Middlesex 967 is unknown. These were made for general circulation, not a specific individual.

    Mntage of Sussex 2 was probably around 400,000. Possibly made for Richard Maplesdon

    The dies were made by Thomas Wyon of Birmingham and they were struck by William Lutwyche also of Birmingham.
