spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/18/2017 10:10 pm Yes it is a Conder token from Anglesey and issued by the first company to issue them starting in 1787. Quote: The Parys Mine Company was first to issue tokens, for payment to their workers, and general circulation, ahead of John Wilkinson the Shropshire Ironmaster. This precipitated the development of the whole commercial token series as catalogued by Dalton & Hamer. Edit: all of the Half Pennies I could find had "Anglesey" on the reverse and in your case "Paris" would be a misspelling but I don't know. Also, most 1791s had the date at the bottom. I searched through the 1910 version of the D&H catalogue that's available online: http://provincialtokencoinage.weebly.com Note: even the 1910 catalogue includes known counterfeits.

Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 01/19/2017 10:42 pm Actually it is number 436 on page 398, down to the edge inscription. Thanks for that resource! Does it have any value in this condition? Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/19/2017 10:55 pm Thanks for the update/correction! It was a team effort. I didn't go far enough to get into the varieties. I searched ebay sold and it seems you may get about $20 for it. Beyond that, I don't know.
