Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/09/2024 4:08 pm It's not widely recognized that the original compiler of a catalog of late 18th century provincial tokens, James Conder, in fact distributed one promoting his own business. Over 100,000 were struck for him by Peter Kempson, a prolific maker of these. The edge is milled (slanted reeding). The Ipswich Market Cross as shown on the obverse no longer exists, although a decade ago there was discussion regarding restoring it in some form.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 03/12/2024 4:36 pm I've long loved the Conders for their artful, early pictorials. This one, somewhat less ornate than many others, still has such appeal, given its higher grade. Back in the 70's, I was introduced to Conders when I bought a box of 90 assorted pieces at a show. The price averaged a mere $1.80 per coin. Given their beauty of design, I kept the better ones for many years and traded-off the balance. All gone now .... Report this Post to the Staff
