AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 11:05 am I collect a few, mostly with architectural themes of some kind. Here's a few of my favourites ... Middlesex, Skidmore's 522a. Obverse - St. Paul's Church Covent Gardens. Reverse - same structure in ruins after being destroyed by fire. From the Dr. Richard Doty Reference Collection of Conder Tokens. Suffolk, Bungay 24b. Obverse - Ancient Tower Bigod's Castle. Reverse - Justice. From the Dr. Richard Doty Reference Collection of Conder Tokens. 1797 British Penny sized Conder Token. Middlesex, Moorgate, from Kempson's Buildings Series. DH-79 Scarce. Obverse die crack from 11:00 to 5:00. Obv: MOORGATE AS ERECTED MDCLXXIIII Taken Down MDCCLXVI Rev: British Penny Token 1797. Figure of Justice standing. ... and my current favourite ... 1795 Scottish halfpenny sized Conder Token. Angusshire, Dundee DH-10. Obv: COMMERCE AUGMENTS DUNDEE Rev: DUNDEE HALF PENNY 1795 Old Tower Founded 1189. It really is that blue with reflected light. Report this Post to the Staff

Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 09/22/2006 04:00 am The 1795 Dundee Half-Penny has incredible colour. Does that happen to all of those type tokens? Or is it unusual to have one like that? Report this Post to the Staff

AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 09/22/2006 10:58 am Thanks, snooba and grouse12 I'm not sure how common this color is on these tokens. I just know that it knocked my socks off when I saw it at a coin show here last April, and I had to have it. I have seen blue copper several times, but not as bright and reflective as this. I'm sure it had to do with the way it was stored. The seller purchased a large collection of Conder Tokens while in the UK, and this was among them. He claims that the piece had been in one collection for about 45 years, and had apparently been in England for all of its life until he bought it. Report this Post to the Staff
