Well I gotta say I'm surprised to find your thread locked in the token forum.Perhaps the Mod in question can advise on where this conder token is best discussed as we hit a dead end in here and any token experts are surely going to be in the token forum.

Glad to help. Ironically, I don't regularly visit this forum. I found this thread because of its brief (very, very brief) visit to the Token Forum :-)

ok, finally, I don't know the Dalton and Hamer book series at all......what do they usually mean by "rare" when it comes to mintage, price, etc. ?....and can anyone recommend a decent book for conder tokens, or is the Dalton and Hamer series the main guide in the "conder-token" community?

D&H picked up where Conder left off so the book I referenced earlier in the thread is THE reference for Conder tokens. The text uses the following designations for rarity: RRR, RR, R, Scarce and Common. The subject token of this thread is R. Concerning pricing, google Falmouth Stamp and Coin to get a feel for it. They have a wide range of Conder tokens at many price-points.
I got into Conder tokens after it became clear that certain themes in U.S. tokens came from Conder token designs -- even some of the die sinkers are the same. Some U.S. post-Colonial coins are, in fact, Conder tokens. Best of all, the designs are absolutely beautiful and full of clever (sometimes very funny) symbolism.
