Hello !
I've been really into conders lately. I've found a couple of sellers that only list them and a bunch every week. The Numista section doesn't have a lot of them, I plan to update it sometime between now and 2025 lol.
I really like the Buckinghamshire because it's not common and I got a good deal on it.
A# = Atkins, D&H = Dalton & Hamer. I could only find Atkins' book, but all the sellers use D&H, so I have to convert them. Which is actually a lot of fun!
It's rare, but I think the Kent conder is a mistake in Atkins who puts the year as 1795 (he has no pictures), and all the conders I've seen are 1794. He has a notable error with Lothian #1 where he lists the legend as “For Filtering Water” when it's actually “For Purifying Water”. But these are literally the only 2 mistakes I've seen
I think conders are so cool because they're like unofficial currency, which always gets my attention - provinces, notgeld, etc. There's even a George Washington conder, a lot of them are political, some advertizing.
The one sort of unique thing about them is they have edges that can vary and those can make the coin worth a lot more. I also like the Evasion currency, some have really funny lettering, spelling king George's name in all sorts of ways (Georgois, etc). And these coins aren't worth that much - on ebay they can go as low as $10-15, and usually I don't bid for more than ~$25 unless it's something I really want
