Quite possibly a one of a kind creation and very well done. Definitely has value to the right collector. If you sell it on eBay let us know as some of us may bid. PS - Ian, I love your descriptions. "Some are outstanding examples of `art' others are coin butchery personified." "The taler is itself quite rare and to all intents and purposes, to the hardened collector, it has been well and truly goosed." Write a book about coins and I will buy it!

Post some photos and someone here will be able to help. -
Almost all of my coins date between 1750 - 1950, but here is a Henry V Groat a bit earler than that. Make me an interesting trade offer and it's yours.

The Dutch Silver Riders are popular but the price depends largely on grade. As all of yours are details graded don't expect much more than about $75 per coin. Also, you would do better if you had a clear photo of each coin.

Excellent condition. Zohar would like that! -
Hard to narrow this down to just one coin, but probably a nice 1955 Lincoln DDO Cent.

I am off on Monday and unless my wife has other plans for me I will look up all five notes and give you catalog numbers and relative values. All of them look to grade VF or lower and off the top of my head I would say they are all worth no more than a few dollars each. Here's one from my old Netherlands collection..... Notice the radar serial # ?

So those are copy/reducing lines, here I thought they were from an old fingerprint. The things I learn from you Pat! Also, I misspelled Conder. Only seems to happen when I post while enjoying an alcoholic beverage.

I have collected Pidcock’s (London, England) Conder tokens for almost 5 years and anyone who had ever dabbled with this series knows that you almost never see the tiger. As seen here: This elusive design only appears on the reverse of two Pidcock’s tokens, the DH418 and the DH436, with an elephant and a rhino on each obverse. Both tokens are listed as common yet I have never seen one offered for sale. If you have one that you are sick of looking at please let me know. If you want the tiger on the obverse you have five choices, the DH441 and 441a (two-headed cow on the reverse) the DH442 and 442a (ostrich reverse) and the DH443 (eagle with rays reverse). Two are RR (if you ever find one you can’t afford it), and two are RRR (you will never see one if you live to be a hundred). Which leaves the DH442 as the only affordable option. Which I finally found and won in a recent Stack’s auction. Ex Jerry Bobbe Collection. A very sharp strike with fantastic details. With an old collector number painted on the obverse which I think gives it character and stays. And I finally got the tiger. The tiger.

Beautiful coin with outstanding details.

If it is genuine (there are many Chinese counterfeits circulating) and judging by condition (hopefully it is not cleaned or polished) it is worth between $350 to $700.

I also use the vise method to open slabs and have never had a problem. And my work table looks exactly like yours. Except my vise is older! Also, instead of a towel, I put the slab into an old sock and listen for two cracks. Then I take it upstairs and open the slab on my desk.
