Historically it's been fairly common for professional numismatists to issue their own tokens. Here's one in white metal by Samuel Hamer, co-author of the "bible" for British Provincial Tokens (Conder tokens) with Richard Dalton.  |

Judging by the all seeing eye and the rose buds, these guys were either Masons or Rosicrucian.

I'm not an excessively greedy man, nor am I given over to lusting after another man's goods & chattels. However if I do ever succumb to medal or token envy, then Mr yarm it will be odds on that it's one of yours. Another beauty.  |

I was hoping to coax out a few examples of numismatists' tokens (I'm not the only collector am I?  ) Here's one by Charles Pye, engraver and token collector/author.  |

I'm intrigued by them, but this is the only one I have. Modern, picked up from the dealer at a show, made as I believe from plated zinc by Jess Patrick out in California.
 If I succeed in setting up as a small-scale coiner, I plan on talking this sort of thing up to the coin dealers in my area (we have quite a few). |

The Conder Token Collector's Club produced a token for their 10th anniversary which combined designs from two different Conder tokens. It hasn't taken very long for this copper token to begin to tone around the edges.   |
