I like this form of questioning. You are true to form, sir.

I don't remember the exact answer but there are a few.....5-6, I think

You have me at a disadvantage................I haven't opened a Redbook in a year or so

Off the top of my head, Talbot, Franklin Press, Kentucky Token and a bunch of Washington pieces.

The Washington pieces are the bulk of the count. Otherwise, there are just the few mentioned by by CCU. The Talbot piece itself is not included in the Conder series by Dalton & Hamer, but the obverse die is paired with several other dies and these mules are part of the Conder series.

Edit: I see that the North Wales halfpenny is also in the Red Book, it is also part of the Conder series.

I believe this is a complete list:
Kentucky token (Lancashire 59)
Washington Liverpool Halfpenny (Lancashire 116)
Franklin Press (Middlesex 307)
Washington Left Liberty & Security undated (Middlesex 243 Asylum edge)
Washington Right . Liberty & Security . 1795 (Middlesex 244 Asylum edge)
Washington Grate - Large Buttons (Middlesex 283)
Washington Grate - Small Buttons (Middlesex 284)
Washington President 1791 One Cent (Middlesex 1049)
Washington President One Cent 1791 (Middlesex 1050)
Washington President Ship Halfpenny (Middlesex 1051)
Washington Right Liberty & Security 1795 (Middlesex 1052)
Washington North Wales (Middlesex 1052 Bis)

One I missed since it is not pictured in my 2005 Red Book:
New York Theatre token (Middlesex 167)
