[Let's See Your Copper Coins, Tokens, Or Medals!]

Next up, the latest addition to my Kempson's Birmingham Buildings Conder Halfpenny mini collection (I now have 16 out of the 27)

This one also has some nice provenance, being ex Sven Gahlin collection

[Let's See Your Copper Coins, Tokens, Or Medals!]

A few newbies worthy of sharing (hopefully!)

This lovely Warwickshire County Conder Halfpenny Token is ex Richard Dalton (of Dalton and Hamer fame). It's an effigy of the upstart crow (Shakespeare) on the obv.

Thanks Rob - so what year was the first large copper penny issued?

1797? (the cartwheel)

Maundy sets are presented in small leather pouches. Any cases are after market, some offered by jewellers. Set is not really a correct way to describe the coins as issued as the denomination mix varied, you didn't equal numbers of each denomination.

That's a very good point Gary - so even those 'contemporary' cases from, say, 1906, weren't issued with the coins? 

[1854 Penny: Fake or not?]

This is my OT 1854, the colon after the R on the reverse is also very low (lower than the example in your pics?). It has been slabbed and authenticated, hope it helps (a bit) even if it's not a PT!

Unfortunately not; it might have cost less in an auction!

I'm assuming it's a half crown? I love this design, it's my avatar

Many thanks for this information. May I ask if numbers 63 to 67 which you have shown on this page are the only York tokens documented in this book, or are there more following on the next page? I did buy a couple of James Carlille HP tokens just the other day which I would have expected to see, these are pictured below. Thanks again,

 

Boy those are nice examples!

DH 63-70 inclusive is York, so 8 different designs + varieties

Can anyone help with more information on this coin please? I do not own the coin; it is a picture I put into my reference notes many years ago when I bought a YORK Clifford's Tower + Minster 1795 Half Penny, but I don't think I have ever seen another York Minster one paired with QUEENS BAYS Cavalry...………….. so think it must be a rare piece.

Not my area of expertise, but think I may now want to collect the YORK (my home town) Tokens as a bit of a side-line to Victoria Pennies, so if anyone can help improve my knowledge of those pieces that would be much appreciated. 

This is D&H Yorkshire 64, or 64a if it has a plain edge. Regarded by D&H as very rare (64a) or scarce (64)

[1745 Half Crown Roses Question]

Thanks Rob, here's my example, that I'm wondering about. I think I'm in the 45/45 camp ...

[1745 Half Crown Roses Question]

Hoping someone can shed some light ...

Bull/ESC lists the 45/45 variety (ESC 1686 (604A)) but not the 45/3, while Spink lists the 45/3 but not the 45/45 - do both exist, are the both the same but with a different 'interpretation', or is there a mistake in 1 of these reference books?

Lovely Rob, My gunmoney halfcrown example happens to be May 1690 also

The rare or more common one?

The more common 'shield in garter' (S. 3808) type, my 1821 covers off the 'garnished shield' type (S. 3807)

DNW are going to spoil my Christmas one way or another. They're selling a fantastic token collection December 4th.  If the estimates are anywhere near accurate, I'll probably spend too much and we'll be eating baked beans on the 25th. If some items take off the way I believe they will I'll probably be sulking until February.

There's certainly some great tokens on offer here, please lay off the Kent ones, particularly Folkestone!
