Of these two I can not tell you how happy I am to have been able to pick up this Conder. Very cool in my book. Blockheads? Oh well, I guess we can't all be perfect.
I like yellow and green, amber & purple so I really find my new dime attractive, otherwise I never would add it to my collection as I don't really collect Mercury dimes. If ya want you can try to guess the grade of the Mercury dime give it a whirl. It's in a pcgs dove grey holder.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting, Joe

Very cool.
Where is the third blockhead?
I'll guess MS66
I think the holder of the coin is supposed to be the third
Neat piece.

Very NICE, Joe!
I really like your newps and can truly appreciate your taste in coins.
The Conder is unique, early and in wonderful condition.
The Mercury is like a rainbow.
Great additions and Congrats to you, my friend!

cool blockheads token!
Weird dime. My grandson might do one like that.

Thanks, Stef. I ran across it and had to have it. As far as the third blockhead goes, I'm afraid it's me
I think that's a logical question too, especially for those of us unfamiliar with Conder Tokens.
I do like the patina on the Conder.

Sorry, I thought it was meant as a joke....... as the OK' saying goes. we three blockheads
the third one is you, or the owner of the token.

I sure hope it's a joke, Stef. LOL. But I do believe that's the joke alright. The holder of the token is the third blockhead. That would be me

Never the less, I'm really happy I landed this one. It's nothing even close to what you have there lady. Your the QUEEN! No question about that Stef.
I have a looooong way to go to catch up with you. I don't even think it can be done.
Thanks to all
I really like the Blockhead Conder token... I used to look for those when I went to coin shows - and that one in particular.... never found one. On the Merc....65, no FB... Cheers, RickO
Both look like great additions. Congrats.

Merc looks 65 to me
HAPPY COLLECTING
The Condor is very impressive.
agreed.
Nice and interesting pickups. Love the splash of color on the Merc. It looks as if Mercury is gazing at the sunset before her.

Interesting- the 1795 Conder reminds me of marionette puppets. The expression on the faces on the obverse seem intentionally artificial which may lend credence to "blockheads." Very cool, nice pick-ups. The third "blockhead" would be the one controlling the strings?
Very nice Merc. A palette of color.
