Help identify Conder Token??

[brg5658]

Hello all. I'm new to the world of Conder Tokens, and I haven't taken the leap to invest in the D&H classification book or the PDF version of it.

 

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me definitively identify the token below. It has been graded and slabbed by NGC, but the person I purchased it from told me that the attribution (D&H #) was incorrect. I'm attaching what the Label says, and my best attempt at decent pictures (I'm still working to improve my photos!).

 

Thanks a bunch!

First of all your photos are excellent.

 

The seller was correct and NGC did label it incorrectly.

 

There are three versions of this token.

 

1) The D&H-40 (scarce) is dated 1796.

 

2) The D&H-41 (rare) is dated 1797 and lacks the stars before and after the legend.

 

3) The D&H-42 (common) is also dated 1797 and has two stars before and after the legend.

 

So you actually have a D&H-42 in mint state condition.

 

PS - The NumisMaster D&H PDF "book" is definitely worth the money, and allows you to keep a "copy" at home and at work. I recommend it without reservations. Probably the best money I ever spent!

Numismater has a version of D&H now? I've seen two other commercial PDF versions of the book and one downloadable scanned version but I was not aware of one from Numismater.

Even though it's common, I hope I didn't get robbed by paying $100 for it. Seemed like a pretty fair price for a piece of history this old and in this good of shape. Thanks so much for your clarification and details. VERY Helpful!!!

It is almost impossible to find a MS Conder token for under $100 anymore. That is for ANY MS grade. (And to think a little over 10 years ago I was able to buy them for $20 or less.)

I bought the NumisSource online PDF of the D&H classification and it really an awesome resource. I think it's like 770 pages, and very well put together. It was $75 and came with 5 additional high resolution files for certain areas (e.g., Middlesex). I think that's the PDF HiHo is referring to.

Yes, that is the one. It knew it was Numis-Something...

 

I appreciate the fact that I can keep a copy at home, a copy at work and a copy on a USB thumb drive as a backup. I also like that NumisSource provides both a standard resolution version for quick searches and a high resolution version to check details. Both for one price. And I can easily print certain sections.

 

I may be a little confused but I know a good thing when I see it.

 

PS - Brandon, if you ever want to sell that token for $100 you have a buyer, OK?
