LINCOLNMAN 393 posts Report post Posted August 10, 2018 I've not seen many of these tokens, other than the ones collected in the US as "colonials". Fascinating. I'm guessing that these are collected by county and/or theme? Very nice Coinsarefun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing that these are collected by county and/or theme? Very nice Coinsarefun. There are many ways to collect these, especially as it is impossible to collect one of each and there are several thousand varieties (not even counting all the edge varieties). As you said, some focus on a single county, some collect only the Genuine Trade Tokens (GTTs), others focus on the political tokens of Spence or the animal tokens of Pidcock's. Not surprisingly I have a special fondness for the farthing tokens. Some are focused on collecting as broad a range of tokens, while others focus on collecting only the very best, and rarest examples. There is such a variety of themes and designs that each collector can build the collection best suited to their interests. 1 coinsarefun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarm 692 posts Report post Posted January 25 It's taken quite a few years to acquire a nice example of the Johnson token from the Johnson/Perrins bout of 1789. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LINCOLNMAN 393 posts Report post Posted January 25 Looked up the bout referenced above. An hour of bare-knuckle heavyweight boxing. Brutal. A bit of an Ali/Liston match but without the quick resolution(s). Good history, thanks for posting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIKE BYRNE 26 posts Report post Posted 7 hours ago Hi Mike I'm new here but I have been active with the ANA. I have posted my tokens. Conder. A complete set of P Kempson Coventry set. All 19 in MS condition. I just started a set posting other Conder tokens I put up twelve but will be adding to it . I don't believe in slabs or grades but a complete Coventry set has to be protected. It took five years of people.looking in auction houses all over England and the U.S. Hundreds of sites in the U.S. And two years to find one to complete it. Now that's with people checking shows. The big sellers all keeping there eyes out. Nothing. Finally in England found one. Maybe two. And two years for one . The auctioneer said he had not seen any in ten years . All my Conder tokens are protected there graded but I can't stop that the entire set is MS 63 to 65 Red brown and a Proof like. Can't find another set. Even have Handel reverses. So if you have time take a peek. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
