I am interested in information about the grading of Conder Tokens and British Tokens of the early 1800's. It is my understanding that the DH scale is linked to...
Hello Marc, it does get confusing, here is my understanding, subject to correction of course. There are 2 Sheldon scales, one measures condition and one for...
Thanks Mike, This is a great deal of help. I was given a copy of DH as a present and I have begun going back through my Conders and checking for rarity. The...
There is no reference to Sheldon in D&H because Sheldon came some 30+ years later. Nowhere in D&H do they give a quantitative measurement of what RRR, RR, etc...
Thanks, Michael, This seems to correspond nicely with what I've been finding. Your write-up is one of the most complete I've seen so far, and I appreciate it...

I have a 1789 Cronebane halfpenny, in poor condition, with a strong countermark punched diagonally over the shield of arms, reading EVI, possibly NEVIS. I was...
Steven, the island of Nevis did have a countermarked coinage circa 1800 with denominations of "Black Dogs". I don't know if this is the origin of yours or not...
I'm quite pleased to join a group of people who appreciate such lovely little bits of Artistry, History, Satire and trade. Trade is a form of communication...
Is anyone going to the ANA Summer seminars? My son Travis and I will be attending, the first week of July. I'll be taking the Conder Token evening class and...
My son Elliot and I will be attending. I am also taking Conders. I took US tokens from Dave Schenkman 2 years ago. It was great. I reviewed it in an issue of ...
I wish I was. I'd love to take that Conder token mini-seminar as well. Jerry Bobbe, the instructor, really knows his stuff on them. The only person I've ever...
I too wish I was, however, I'll be at the ANA Convention in SF so I have to spread my efforts. Maybe one day. Hope some of you can make it to SF. Besides, I...

I am thinning my bookshelf and have a few duplicate Conder token reference books for sale. All are postpaid and satisfaction guaranteed. SPECIOUS TOKENS by...
I haven't seen any mention of it here but one of the early members of the Conder Token Collectors Club and the owner of the most extensive collectors of Conder...
I'm really glad you like the token book, for me it is a basic need for enjoying the series. I didn't know Robbie Brown, but if you would like to send me a...

I think it's a hit and run spammer. Little or nothing numismatic on the site and I got the same message in a couple of the e-mail lists I'm on. Michael...
Just removed a couple of users and a couple of messages. All things considered group has been fairly lucky in this regard so I'm thinking there's no need for...
I enjoyed reading in an article by David Dykes in the BNJ that Conders could be found in circulation in Birmingham as late as the 1960's ! I wonder if the...
Fellows, Dykes' remark appears in BNJ 74 (2004), p. 174n75. For what it's worth, Nicolas Mayhew in his book Sterling (1999, p. 104) refers encountering ...
The article is "SOME REFLECTIONS ON PROVINCIAL COINAGE 1787-1797" by David Dykes, BNJ 74 Page 174, footnote 75. The footnote states "It might be thought that...
