Two new Pidcock's Exhibition (London) Conder Tokens

[HiHoAudio]

A pretty nice D&H-439 from a Manchester England dealer...

 

 

And an exceptional D&H-458 from Bill McKivor...

I started a Pidcock's Exhibition Custom Registry set and would welcome comments and criticism...

Great looking tokens. It would have been an interesting exhibition to visit.

I find these Conder threads quite fascinating. You have put together quite a nice selection in your registry set.

Cool tokens and show, HiHo!

 

Two questions come to mind.

 

Was it easy to override the NGC images with your own?

 

For tokens slabbed but ungraded due to environmental damage, does that mean (or could that mean) that there is active PVC or corrosive action on the piece?

Yarm -

 

I had no problem uploading my images as long as they were under the maximum size allowed by NGC.

 

I don't think that NGC certifies coins with active PVC damage. Usually "Environmental Damage" implies exposure to water or something that left the surface pitted and or discolored. That's how I understand it at least.

 

NGC rejected one of my Pidcock's tokens, a rare D&H-446, as NOT SUITABLE FOR CERTIFICATION. Granted, it was harshly cleaned and has an enormous planchet crack but it is genuine. An ugly duckling, but genuine nevertheless. It's actually one of my favorite Conder tokens. It has.....personality.

 

I'm going to start a thread later with photos and let the Collectors Society members vote. If I get enough votes perhaps NGC will re-consider and allow it into an Edgeview. I just want to display it in the Pidcock's set.

Nice group of Pidcock's. Do you know why they are labeled PF? They look MS in the photos.

[HiHoAudio]

Good eyes. They are definitely MS and not Proof issues.

 

The new Collection Manager is excellent but it still has a few bugs here and there. It's free so I don't complain.

 

I recently picked up one and perhaps two new Pidcock's farthings. Photos to follow once I receive them.

You have a beautiful set! If I were going to add still another dimension to my mania, it would be to collect Pidcock tokens. I think they are great!
