Spence Moderator United States 34464 Posts	Posted 06/21/2019 8:41 pm @Natrowan, first welcome to CCF. Second could you also please post a pic of the other side of this piece? Thx. Added: look tantalizingly similar to a late 1700s Conder Token for the Palmer Mail Stagecoach company. Here is an example: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...er-133147853 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Edited by Spence 06/21/2019 8:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 12:22 am looks like a condor to me too. DO NOT CLEAN IT. It has more value with the original verdigris (toning). Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 02:33 am It is definitely a Conder token and appears to be a 1797 half penny. Here's the reference: http://provincialtokencoinage.weebly.com/ Viewing the Middlesex section, it is at the bottom of page 55. Here are some screenshots: #366 Full page: According to D&H, this type is common among those. I can't say what that means about its overall rarity. I agree, though, to leave it alone.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 3:58 pm Conder tokens walk a line on either side of Exonumia -- they were not Royal circulating coin issues but they did have denominations and they definitely circulated as money.
