constanius Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 The Poole token is from Dorset(shire). I think you might have to describe the edge for a definitive answer as to #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constanius Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Great tokens. You've got a very nice set there. Do you know anything more about the Richardson Goodluck & Co. piece? The British Government financed and administered the lotteries but ticket sales and promotion of the lotteries was farmed out to private companies. Richardson, Goodluck & Co. was one of those private companies. Mrs Goodluck was a 'silent partner', Richardson paid her 50GBP a year just to use her name in the company's title in a bid to inspire the punters to purchase shares in the lottery tickets through his company. She was a 'certain winner' in the lotteries, just by allowing the use of her auspicious name for cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Please stopping posting material like thats pictured here. I have enough collecting interests as it is and I am trying hard not to adopt another. You make it difficult for me to exercise appropriate self control when you tempt me with intriguing examples of why one would want to collect Condor tokens. I will not bite. I will not bite. I will not bite. Damn you, you are not helping one bit! Lovely pieces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yup. It's Dorsetshire, Poole If the edge is: 6. I PROMISE TO PAY ON DEMAND ONE HALFPENNY . + 6a. Milled 6b. PAYABLE AT DANBURY OXFORD OR READING. 6c. Plain 6b and 6c are listed as RR, the others as common. I'll check the edge when I get home from work today, unless my wife has other plans for my free time. I have only been collecting Conder Tokens for about 6 months now, but find them quite addicting. And since my roots are half English and half Irish they touch my heart in a special way. Here's one I bought a year or two ago before I even knew what Conder Tokens were. I just liked the "God Send Peace" message... Did I get the D&H # right?

hiho Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yup. It's Dorsetshire, Poole If the edge is: 6. I PROMISE TO PAY ON DEMAND ONE HALFPENNY . + 6a. Milled 6b. PAYABLE AT DANBURY OXFORD OR READING. 6c. Plain 6b and 6c are listed as RR, the others as common. I checked the edge and found "I PROMISE TO PAY ON DEMAND ONE HALFPENNY". Here's a Middlesex 941 that NGC BB'd as "laquered"..... I thought it looked a little too good for the money. I still like it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farthing Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Many Conder tokens come laquered, the practice was quite common for copper coins/tokens in years past. As long as it is not deteriorating or chipping off it is something I would not be concerned with - it's still a great looking token! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi Mr. Farthing - I have a Half-farthing of 1830 which has a nice die-clash that was obviously lacquered to make it permanent - i.e. protect the coin from nasty scratches/wear. Now I know it was a contemporary practice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Many Conder tokens come laquered, the practice was quite common for copper coins/tokens in years past. So lacquer was an early attempt to keep copper coins safe from the horrors of verdigris and such. Interesting. I had no idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee 1837-1897. Bronze 56mm by Geo. Will. De Saulles (after W.Wyon) & Thomas Brock. Legend: VICTORIA ANNVM REGNI SEXAGESIMVM FELICITER CLAVDIT XX IVN.MDCCCXCVII (Victoria successfully completed the sixtieth year of her reign, 20 June, 1897). Rev: Young head of Victoria facing left. Legend: LONGI-/TVDO/DIERVM/IN DEXTERA/EIVS/ET IN/SINISTRA/GLORIA. (Length of days in her right hand; and glory in her left hand. Vulgate, Proverbs III, v. 16). BHM 3506. Lacquered & unlacquered examples of the same medal. At least the lacquering "protects the piece" & can be quite attractive even if 'infra dig' to some collectors. I personally like the effect on the lacquered Victoria. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I personally like the effect on the lacquered Victoria. What do you guys think? I like it more too. Several years ago, someone in this forum posted medals or tokens that had a funny clay red hue that I had never seen before. They told me it was lacquer too. I like the effect but I don't think coins should be lacquered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
