A pretty unique Conder token with a story. Birchall 28e

I purchased the following token from Bill McKivor. MJ

According to Bill:
This is one of only two pieces with this edge (done for Birchall’s amusement and collection)
It is considered RRR. (Bill thinks the "one of two" population edges should be RRRR but there is no such thing)
It was part of the January 2008 Spinks sale in 2008 were prior it was in John Cokayne's holdings
D & H were given access to the Cokayne collection between 1910-1917. There is a separate section in the D & H book on the Birchall special edges.
This piece was logically bought at the 1905 Adkins sales by Cokayne.
The other Birchall 28e piece resides in England with the balance of the other Birchall pieces/edges as a complete collection.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    That's a beautiful looking token!

    I love the limp sheep hanging there and Scooby-Doo running up the tree.

    If I could own only one coin, this would be it. I'm just crazy about sheep. Definitely the most beautiful coin I have ever seen.
