THE COPPER CORNER LIST #42 October-December 2005 “Something for Everyone” 18th Century “CONDER” TOKENS------17TH Century tokens—19th Century tokens Medals, medalets, unusual historical items---- Does your label say “last issue”? If it does, and you still want it, call me. Hello, everyone---late again, as usual. The Token Congress was not until mid October, so had to rush home and get this in the mail. Anything picked up in England will have to wait until January-----This list has one interesting surprise. Many of you have asked me why I do not have more Washington tokens listed. The answer lies in the fact that they are also collected by the US Colonial collectors, and the prices are very high for most of them, making them nearly impossible to find in the trays of Conder dealers. Some years ago I sold a number of pieces to one customer, who has listed them and others here---so you will find a nice run of pennies and halfpennies with George Washington on the obverse. As well, there are a few Washington pieces that are not in D&H, but have close ties to the group you may wish to look at---they are listed at the beginning of the list, below. As usual, the Washington pieces will be graded by American grading standards, as that is how they are priced, and how I have to buy them. Rather odd situation. Priced below book!! Coin Ex was held on the 30th and 1st October at the London Docks, a new venue and a bit “out of town”. I shall have to have a report on the auction scene and London shows in another issue, I am afraid!! Enjoy!! A few Washington pieces that are not in D&H (US Colonials) George Washington/Unity States. Bust to left/Unity states legend. 1783. These come with “striations” right in the planchet, and are often weakly struck in the legends. Obverse legends are weak, central figure close to as struck. The reverse is VERY strong, and the piece easily merits an AU. Book $950. Nice, nice. $575. George Washington—Double head cent. His bust on both sides, a sharp EF. Seldom found this nice $395. Georgius Triumpho---Bust “Washington”---(it looks like George III)---/ Liberty stands behind screen with 13 bars, fleur de lis at the corners of the screen. The token rather obviously refers to the American victory, but the bust is decidedly George III---a very odd piece indeed. 1783, and struck at the time Scarce----these are listed in Atkins and Cobwright, as an evasion token, and were known to have circulated in England as well as in America. However, it was issued at an earlier time than 1787 so is not in D&H---but it is punch linked to counterfeit halfpennies of the period. Evasion, Colonial, call it what you will. VF+ for this always weak issue, it has hair detail and quite a bit of reverse detail too. With an AU selling recently in a Bowers and Merina auction for $3860, this choice VF, much better than the average VF--- ought to please at $645. Washington, Large Military Bust---Bust L/Liberty seated. Large button variety. These were struck in or around 1820, though the date is 1783. EF+, very choice on obverse, just a bit flat in face on the reverse. $345. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AYLESBURY 3. 1796. Justice Seated/Arms. EF+, just a bit of wear, bronzed, no marks, very nice. Ex: R. C.

They are quite crude, but served the need at the time. Most are quite rare, as they circulated in very small areas—many times only being accepted over a few blocks in the town---and most were struck in very small quantities. As well, when the King’s edict banning them was published, most were melted. They are listed by Williamson numbers, from his book on 17th century tokens, and rarity/pricing based on Dickenson’s updated volume. Most are rare---some more so-- All listed are farthings unless described otherwise. Bedfordshire 1667 W-40 William Eassey/In Dvnstable. (Swan Pictorial). VG/G, nice swan. $28.

Issued primarily by large industry, they are a reminder of how industry coped with a lack of change as the industrial revolution gained momentum.
