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

    Middlesex Halfpenny Conder token D&H 319c, a little off-centre but nice toucan! Circa 1790s. Obverse reads "TO . THE . CURIOUS . OBSERVERS . OF . NATURAL . PHENOMENA."

    Pretty North Wales Halfpenny Conder token, new this week

    Thanks Rob, I did have my doubts, mis-attributed by the very well-known dealer then! Still R2 though, if you believe in such things!

    I wonder if someone could help with attributing this coin please? The date is not very clear due to reduction lines but I am 96% sure it is 1696. The regnal year on the edge is OCTAVO. I'm after the Bull/ESC number, I currently have it as ESC 1071 (532) but that would make it R3 and I want to be sure Thanks for any help!

    Totally agree with Nons on the wordpress recommendation, I do exactly the same. It also helps with posting pics on here, I just copy/paste them into a reply such as this one! Here's another newbie I'm quite pleased with, could do with less bag chatter though ...

    I may have posted this before, but just to revive the thread ...

    Just upgraded my 1913 shilling, pics to come, I have found them the hardest of all. Here's my 1924
  11. Paulus
    My best 1922 shilling, they really are very difficult!
  12. Paulus
    I think it's a v at the end so 1855 as Rob says

    New-ish upgrade to my George III halfpenny example

    At the DNW this week I noticed that milled Elizabeth I coins were described as, for example, "contemporary with Second hammered issue" - no longer any mention of the word 'milled' at all. This may have been the customary auction/dealer description for a while, and I have only just noticed, but can anyone shed any light on why the change?

    Newbie, only mid-grade sadly

    I'm waiting for a kinky comment from @Peter, it is from East Anglia after all!

    The height of fashion in 1794 Norwich. The items on the obverse are a ladies' fur muff and tippet

    Newbie

    I only have D&H as a reference, if of any use or relevance, this Birmingham Kempson token is correctly documented by D&H as having an edge inscription of "COVENTRY TOKEN"
  23. Paulus
    Here's another Kempson's Birmingham Buildings halfpenny Conder token.
  24. Paulus
    Scarce Bath token
  25. Paulus
    Yes, according to Wiki "St Philip's became the cathedral of the newly formed Diocese of Birmingham in 1905"
