Picked up some new Conder tokens **new images**

I have to use the sellers images until I get them in the mailimage
Ignore the gaming token on the top right. I won that one as well.

So, can you tell by these images if they are uncirculated?

What is the rarities on these? I think that they are somewhat common.

    You do great photos!

    Further information:
    Somersetshire Bath #26 is a genuine trade token, the diesinker was Arnold and the manufacturer was William Lutwyche, both of Birmingham. The mintage is reported as 51,500 in Arthur Waters Notes on Eightteenth Century Tokens

    Hampshire Portsmouth #89 (one of my favorite dead-common Conders btw) is also a genuine trade token issued by Taylor, Moody & Co. (W. Taylor anf Richard V. Moody), the diesinker was Dumarest and the manufacturer was Matthew Boulton of Birmingham.
    There is no information on mintage in Waters for this token but I would guess it is more than 100,000

    Warwickshire Birmingham #50 was made for general circulation, the diesinker was Thomas Wyon and the manufacturer Peter Kempson, both of Birmingham. The mintage is reported as 103,000 by Waters.

    Both #89 and #50 were also minted in silver and #50 was also minted in bronze.
