1796 seedsman conder token...

[K1DDO1979]

Went back to make sure the spot I was at yesterday was cleaned out. Got two more coins and a smal flat button. One coin was a blank disc but luckily I found one that turned out well. It’s a 1796 Joseph Archibald half penny conder token. He was a seedsman. I’ve dug other 1790’s conder tokens in the past but not this type and most are in bad shape. The pictures don’t do it justice. Thanks for looking! [emoji16][emoji106]

Nice addition to your collection from the new site!
Great age of finds, I like that era.

Good token. It’s a halfpenny, and from Edinburgh in Scotland. Joseph Archibald had a shop there on Chapel Street. That’s a version of his family coat of arms on the reverse.

That is fantastic! Perfect time of year to find it. I'm going banner vote. Great condition too. Planting the garden now, could use Joseph Archibald's advice.

Wow thanks. I’m glad you think it’s of a banner caliber. I’ll try to get some better pictures on here if it! [emoji16]

Well rewarded return hunt to the new site.
Great looking token-you need some natural lighting to show off the detailing more.

Always a challenge, tilt, get the right lighting, try to take photo with other hand....love the verbal "shoot" command on the phone now. (message-pop up "you will get a clearer photo if lens is cleaned")
