The Galata Withers' books are ones I've found online, I'd love to go across the pond to see their home/shop, it sounds like the kind of place I could get lost in for a few days, if they let me. Great website too! https://www.galata.co.uk/about-us"Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

They're great folks to do business with, and very accommodating when it comes to all the transoceanic postal folderol we Yanks sometimes have to go through. Visiting them in Wales someday is on my bucket list too...I believe their website offers some protocols for that. (They run their business out of their home, after all.)

Cool coins ttkoo, I've always had kind of a soft spot for Conder tokens. Here are a couple I haven't posted here.   |

@chrsmat71
Yeah, yours are really nice.
I like the soft 17 on the Kent Lamberhurst Halfpenny. Do you have the edge lettering? I think there are 4 varieties, 2 are rare.
I don't have a Withers catalogue of 19th century tokens yet, working on it.
I'm just branching into tradesman's tokens. Hard to source at a reasonable price down-under, and international delivery can be a killer. Still, grab what ya can!

Hey thanks JBuck! ttkoo, yeah the Kent token does have edge lettering, I took a pic... "payable at Lancaster, London, or Bristol" , I've always liked edge lettering for some reason, definitely a plus when I see it on token or any coin really.  Also found a couple other token I hadn't posted here...   |
