Can anyone give me some information on this Conder token? I picked it up at the Scott Antique Market in Atlanta this afternoon.

    I can only tell you what Google can tell me:

    1795 Warwickshire Birmingham Lutwyche's Halfpenny Condor Token D&H #220

    Messrs. Dalton and Hamer agree with Google!
    The only variety has a milled edge (220a),
    I never pay too much for my tokens...but every now and then I may buy them too soon.

    Thank you!

    Now, we all know the question "What is it?" is immediately followed by, "How much is it worth?"

    I paid $10 for the token, which I felt was a very good buy.

    Whatever it is worth, you got a good deal!

    Both 220 and 220a are rated as Common, this one is struck a bit off center and would probably grade VF - I would guess it would sell on eBay in the $20-25 range.

    In addition to this being the only conder in two boxes of common 19th- and 20th-century stuff (solid "Yeoman Brown Book" coins, but nothing outlandish*), I was attracted to its reference to coins and medals.


    * I did get a Canadian silver dollar for $6! That little cherrypick paid for my admission to the market.
