Ian Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Very nice Conder, Ian I have a few Conder Tokens, but have yet to find a nice Scottish piece. Thanks. The Scottish ones tend to be a bit harder to find in collectable condition. They certainly saw heavy circulation in the main. I've got examples of all the key 1/2 d issues including some variants but have struggled for years to even sight some of the penny ones. I'll try to get some of them scanned and posted. I think I might have a couple of dup's somewhere too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
