Both of these were purchased from Bill McKivor. Talk about a nice guy to deal with !!! I'll buy from him again for sure 
Anyway, both of these are UNC and are from the Dr. Richard Doty Reference Collection of Conder Tokens, and I am thrilled to get them !!!
First, Middlesex Skidmore's 522a. 1795 St. Paul's Church, Covent Gardens on the obverse, the same structure as destroyed by fire and in ruins on the reverse:
And Suffolk, Bungay 24b. 1796 Ancient Tower obverse, Justice reverse.

I like the Boultonesque edge on the reverse of the last piece. Ever since I saw my first Cartwheel twopence (and haggled Aethelred to death over its possession), I have loved those incuse letters and raised rims.
That is sweet sky night blue!
Urges me to Grab some cash and bust my pockets and buy that thing!

That's the same lie told over and over by coin and token addicts everywhere.
Very nice tokens, though!!
