Does anyone else have some tokens that are Colonials?

Lets see some

I used to have a grate. It was a lowly 40, but a very nice coin (not quite as nice as yours.)

I also used to have a bunch of Washington Colonials. I think they would fit the category that you are describing. Unfortunately I do not have pics.

None of mine qualify

I do like your example

That is a great Grate!

Here is a list of conders that are considered as part of the US colonial series:

The Washington pieces are the bulk of the count...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.

...the North Wales halfpenny is also in the Red Book, it is also part of the conder series.

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)

New York Theatre token (Middlesex 167)

Well at least it's the season as that Tru-View looks like Charlie Brown's... The Great Pumpkin.

I wish PCGS would consider certifying Conders. I believe NGC is very inconsistent in their grading and it would be nice to have another option (beyond an always sensible option of keeping them raw).

That sure would be great, but a huge challenge as there are literally thousands of Conders.
But it would open a huge new market for PCGS and their registry.

HTT's would be another and easier one to start with a would reap great rewards for PCGS.......IMO

If you don't agree with the grade... pass!
