In keeping with my latest practice, I shall now start at the beginning of Wither’s book. This list, W-660 through W1046. Unless noted, all are penny tokens.

NOW--THREE GOOD DEALS

BUY THE BOOK BEFORE THE COIN--OR TOKEN---THREE PRODUCTS YOU SHOULD OWN----------

There are three products on the market---well, two are on the market now, another will join it soon, all three designed to make your collection more fun and give you more knowledge. Each is a bit different----

The first of these three is a CD from Dr. Gary Sriro---who has his 3850 token collection scanned and ready for viewing, along with his years of work cataloging all tokens seen with population numbers that are modern ones, not years old. Not much drawback, but of course it is only for the pieces in his collection, and only for the pieces he has seen for sale. Like any compilation, it is not complete, but is still VERY valuable. His ad is below-----

The 2009 Scans CDStop overpaying for tokens that are more common than you think. SAVE MONEY!!

Now on CD, 3850 Conder tokens with large, full color, high resolution scans with population numbers.

Magnified details become an excellent research tool.

Updated modern rarity guide is included.

Price: $39 + $4 S&H

If interested, and many already have it, mention the Copper Corner and E-mail Gary at

gsriro@gmail.com

Item #2----this is what amounts to an on-line D&H, with up-dated rarity guide at the beginning, a grading guide, and a price guide with a range of possibilities for the price of what you might have or be looking at. A frank discussion about grading, the difference in graders, the differences between pricing in the USA and the UK, and more. The meat of the on-line book, for it really is one, is a listing much like the one in D&H, with all of the tokens pictured, and a lot of tools to help you identify tokens and find things quickly. This comes from Mike Dlugos, who has spent a couple years putting it all together.

AND ----------A PRICE GUIDE FOR ALL BRITISH TOKENS.

Paul and Bente Withers are actually doing what has been spoken of for years---putting out a price guide---for the 17th C tokens, the 18th C tokens, and the silver and copper 19th C tokens. It is not yet completed, but I have seen the format and the CD with some pricing, but certainly not all. The Withers, ever busy, have some precedent in following Michael Dickinson with their guide of 17th C tokens, looking it over I think it will come out very well, and there certainly is no one who knows the 19th C tokens better than Paul and Bente. Where they have a tiger by a bit of the tail is in the 18th C, with its dual interest in two countries with two currencies, and with many tokens that come up so seldom that there really is no price for them that makes sense. But, they are going to do their best to supply a reasonable number on what they are finding. They have some pricing down quite nicely, and are following Schwer's catalogue of prices to some degree, updating it, and are talking to collectors and dealers in an attempt to get better pricing on many tokens than is currently written. A tough job---but they shall do it.

PAGE FOURTEENTHE BOOK WILL BE PUBLISHED, HOPEFULLY IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS---AND I PLAN TO HAVE SOME FOR SALE. Thus, in the interest of knowing before the printing how many I need to order, which in turn will save money in the long run as shipping books from and to the UK is an expensive thing, and the more sent the better the price------I AM NOW TAKING ADVANCE ORDERS. Their last communication had a tentative price of 45 pounds, or around $75, and I should hope that the shipping (which for a D&H is around $35) would be less in volume, I expect that it will be available from me including all shipping at around $95---might be a bit more, though, but think this is ballpark. If you wish one, and would like to get on my list to have one ordered as it comes off the press, let me know. copperman@thecoppercorner.com (206) 244-8345

A call or E-mail referring to any of these three products, all designed to make your collecting a happier thing, will bring you the information on how to order or get you on the list for the price guide. The more advance orders received, the cheaper the guide will be, at least postage wise.

Cheers, Bill
