Probably consigned this to Room 101 before, but sellers who describe a coin along the lines of "small dig in the middle of the Queen's cheek does not detract" Grrr On the one hand, it's a bit much to tell the beholder what they should ignore, while on the other hand, once it's mentioned, I can't see anything else! At least it gets mentioned at the outset, reduces returns

A glitch has meant I haven't been able to post in this thread for a while, but it seems to be working again! I'm interested in all Conder tokens, at the moment I am trying to complete the Kempson Birmingham Buildings series, and collect a decent example for every Cinque Port and limb thereof. Anything interesting though, in a decent grade and at a fair price, I tend to grab it! Here's another Kempson, I'll post some of my more interesting ones now that I can use this thread again

I can only see 1 coin listed (1881 penny)

Just had this sixpence graded, it achieved a grade of CGS 82 (Choice uncirculated), by far the highest graded early milled coin in my collection

Can you share any images that might help me see what you see?

A bit of a shameless plug, but ... Unusually, I have listed a bunch of coins on eBay auction, to finish this coming Sunday evening. The highlights include this F39 1862 Penny, slabbed and graded CGS 78 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202343591239?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Also included are an EF Low Tide 1902 Penny, and an 1854 halfpenny graded UNC ('see other items') - some possible bargains to be had. Good luck to anyone who decides to bid

I would have thought that might bring about an increase in nostalgia, not an increasing lack of it!

Newbie this week, circulation issue

And there were only 2,000 Northumberlands I believe, which wouldn't make much of a dent in the demand for shillings and most probably didn't circulate ...

I remember you saying so after the grading results came through (a few years ago now!) It seems to me that it is very hard to find them fairly nicely struck on the centre of the rev, most seem to have that slightly mushy look

A few of my half crowns, a bit late to the party!

Can I take this please Pete?

Thanks, I will try that!

The edge inscription reads " PUBLISHED BY R. LODER 1796 . X . ", as confirmed on the main reference material (Dalton & Hamer) Good question, I must try and learn how to photograph edges!

Newbie, Suffolk Woodbridge Penny Conder token, 1796

My upgrade has arrived. OP example for sale if anyone is interested.

Something's gone wrong (for me) in the Copper Tokens thread, so I will post this newbie here, seeing as it's a penny ... 1796 Birmingham copper penny token by Thomas Wyon
