Just got this in the mail today, it's been worth the wait. Like the coin says 1793 Half Penny North Wales with the edge inscription "CURRENT EVERY WHERE" There is (1) space between each word and ? (7) symbols where there are no words. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Take Care Ben  |

Very nice Druid Condor token, Bonedigger! (drool hits keyboard) The standard reference books for these would be: 1) Dalton and Hamer, Provincial Token-Coinage of the Eighteenth Century. (Quartermain Publications, 1977) aka D&H 2) Price Guide to 18th Century Tokens, by Siegfried E. Schwer (ISBN 0-9509203-0-4) 3) British Tokens and Their Values, published by Seaby 1984. (ISBN 0-900652-65-9) These are all fairly scarce books, and unfortunately I don't own any of them (yet). However Falmouth Stamp & Coin has five tokens like yours listed on their web site, identified as D&H #1d OBVERSE: Druid's Head, 29 acorns in wreath. REVERSE: A cypher R N G, 1793. NORTH WALES HALFPENNY. EDGE: CURRENT EVERYWHERE Sorry that is all I know without having any books to refer to (and you probably knew all this anyway.) |

Looks like I need to take a trip to Falmouth, they are only 30 minutes from me. I haven't been there is a while. Really nice token.

I am jealous, especially since I nearly got one of those in an auction recently, it looked nice and I should have gone higher..
