First Conder token
« on: September 23, 2009, 08:14:49 PM »
Picked up the first Conder token for the collection. Generally any coin with a nice rendition of an allegorical figure is game for me.

Nice one and a great Halfpenny to start
your collection with. It appears to have some nice color as well.

That's one very nice coin that you have got there.I haven't got this one,even though I do collect these.

I can guess that this 1/2d. is from Middlesex,but the edge inscription may indicate otherwise.

That is a nice Conder token.  : )

For a first one, you may have set a world record for quality.  LOL

Most of us started with a token that might grade EF on  a good day.

Congrats, walmann, and welcome.
I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of Conder Tokens,
the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )
