Roxburghshire #1 farthing, and a nice example at that

[farthing]

Yep! Another 1 token county taken care of.

 

While D&H list this token as Scarce I only have 1 previous reference to this token appearing in an auction - the R. C. Bell sale by DNW in 1996. Probably should be RR at least.

I confess I had to dig out D&H to discover there was a Roxburghshire with its lone token. Between you and Dr. Sriro, you've got most of 'em!

 

So how many counties does this make?

[farthing]

This makes 51 counties that I have at least 1 Conder token from. This DNW auction had examples from several rare counties that you hardly ever see at auction. I bid on another 1 token county lot but it looks like I was the under bidder.

[Conder101]

Looks like there are a total of 70 counties in the entire Conder series, 40 from England and 30 from Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Lots of single token counties in those last three. I only collect the English pieces and I have 39 of the 40 English counties and a half dozen or so counties from the other three "countries". The one English county I'm missing is Leicestershire. I don't expect to get that one. Two token county, but the total mintage was only 18 pieces. I've seen two of them but well outside my price range.

Nothing too fancy for the Falmouth Independent Volunteers.

Classic piece!

 

Do you know the pedigree given the envelopes?

[CyberspaceVoid]

Yes but I forget, I will find out and post the name later

 

 

[Conder101]

That one is still not listed. They added D&H 299b with a milled edge in the 2004 edition of D&H but no plain edge yet.

The gentleman's name is Bill Bradley and he is from Portland area.

 

I guess he has a coin shop , he became ill and someone else runs it for him.

 

 

Has anyone heard of him?

Didn't he play basketball for the Knicks? Didn't know he retired to Trail Blazer country........

 

But hey both Jerry Bobbe and Gary Groll are in Oregon, and Gary Sriro just across the Columbia in Vancouver!

Fantastic token Stefanie. Both rare and in superb condition.

 

I love how NOT FOR SALE is crossed out and changed to $100.

Stephanie, Ok, I'll bite! Who's the Northwest Collection?

[coinsarefun]

Not sure if I posted these earlier or not........

Nice tokens y'all, here is a nice Warwickshire farthing from a DNW group lot. The second is a nice Middlesex issue from a taxidermist. The latter has mirror-like luster on the obverse that does not show in the image.

My latest Conder that I purchased from Yarm (he has such cool stuff) ....

 

Lothian-Edinburgh DH-14a: Campbell’s Snuff Shop halfpenny token.

Obverse: Detailed portrait of a Turk smoking a pipe with the artist’s name "JAMES" below: "PAYABLE AT CAMPBELLS SNUFF SHOP".

Reverse: A snuff jar labelled "37" (his street address) between two thistles with crossed pipes above and date below: "SAINT ANDREWS STREET EDINBURGH 1796".

The edge is plain.

 

It reminds me of all the time I spent in the Middle East, although no one wore turbans where I got stuck

Rainy day so I finally had time to take photos. Here is the DH-455:

 

 

Notice the huge obverse die break?

[HiHoAudio]

And a fairly nice DH-458:

How about a beautiful DH-1073 that NGC thought was a DH-1070?
