Hi everybody, I recently purchased a token (Lancashire 58) which was described as having an "old museum number". Other than that, it's a very nice, higher...
Good morning, all ~ I've encountered this phenomenon several times over the years and there are probably a dozen or so examples in my collections, which cover...
Cliff, the best I know is that they were 19th century inventory numbers. Mike ... From: Cliff Lawless To: Conders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008...
Hello all, I'm fairly new to collecting provincial tokens and was wondering about the detail for edges given in Dalton & Hamer. I have 3 tokens that don't...
My examples of those three tokens are at home so I have not had a chance to check them yet, but I believe a fair number of the edge listings don't list the...
OK, I've had a chance to check my examples of those tokens and in every case my specimens have had the same edge inscription as those owned by the collector in...
Thanks very much for clearing that up Michael. I take it from what you described that there are effectively 4 dies involved in the production of these tokens...

Hey... Yes... I suspect that I know all about this coin and have several mint condition examples... I am on the road right now and cannot go into depth, but...
Hey Michael... I wonder if this guy actually has one of the tuppence replicas minted en-mas about that time and not a conder replica at all? If have sent a...
No I would say from his description it IS a replica Conder token. The two pence replicas are dated 1787 not 1790 and they match the regular issue two pence....
Hi Michael, You are correct, the token is similar to the DH424 to DH429 issues. What made the piece unmatchable was the fact that the head of the hammer was...
Wilkinson's head is also larger and cruder than on the genuine issues, and the lower part of the bust is smaller. On the reverse the anvil is further to the...
I am considering a purchase of an unc Bayly's 253. I understand it is scarce. What is considered the be the population for this piece? Where can I learn more...
The Mdx 253 is scarce which means generally that between 75-150 is the population of the piece. Bayly was the owner of a 'museum' and this is an advert...
