Ornulf Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I I recently bougt a lot of old coins by the kilo, and in among those coins i found a Pidcock token. Have just researched abit on it on the web, but havent found much material on it. An article updated 2007 mentions that noone knows what function the coin had when made. Is that still the case? My coins looks to be in decent shape, but I wouldnt know how to appraise a token! Is my token i decent shape? (pics attached) Any information is appreciated.

Art1.2 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Can't help with info but I can say that I like that token a lot. Welcome to CoinPeople. Hope you enjoy it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Wow! What a token! I don't know much about it but I'm pretty sure I've seen it on this site before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarm Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 You appear to have a farthing "Conder" token issued by Pidcock's Menagerie. I've added a couple of sites that feature them. http://www.tokensociety.org.uk/articles/tokens/pidcocks.shtml http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/wcm/CoinView.aspx?sc=48869 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornulf Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thank you very much for the information about my token. That was interesting reading indeed. I've had a read about the NGC Coin grading process as well, to be able to compare my specimen with the one you linked to. I'dont think my token is that bad actually - qualitywise - and now it's "scarce" as well :-) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
