Messed up tokens

farthing

A very nice set of Conder tokens closed on eBay this afternoon, including several that, shall we say, do not represent the best of the minters art.

Several others then those shown below were minted slightly off center - not all that unusual. However...

Cork D&H #15
Made for sale to collectors by Prattent, the reverse is pictured upside down. However, on the reverse what appears at the top of the image should say HALFPENNY, not IN CORK. Struck over a previous striking??? I don't see any other traces of a previous striking. This token is rated RR.


Middlesex Meymott's D&H #383
Mules made by Prattent or Peter Skidmore for sale to collectors. I do not know if a collar was supposed to be used in the minting of this token, but obviously there was no collar used to mint this one! Rated Scarce.


Middlesex Spence D&H #900
Made for sale by Thomas Spence and struck in a collar. I will need to ask the buyer how much, if any, cupping occurred. Rated fairly Common


Northumberland Newcastle D&H #19
Made for J. Spence of Newcastle by his brother Thomas Spence. The die was first used to strike #3 but broke after 28 tokens. The die was subsequently used to strike tokens for D&H #18-23. Rated Scarce.
My first token from Northumberland


All of these tokens went for strong money. The pictures are the sellers.

Very interesting pickups. Some look like trial strikes to me.
