This site is dedicated to fine English and American coins and tokens. Our specialty is "emergency coinage," issued to fill a need for small change in society. Listings of 17th through 19th century issues, primarily coppers, are linked here for your pleasure. I hope you enjoy it — Bill McKivor.

Examples of numismatic items covered by this website: British/English: 17th-19th Century tokens (including "Conder tokens"), Boulton & Watt items, evasion halfpennies, unofficial farthings. United States: Colonial coins and tokens, Hard Times tokens, Civil War tokens, merchant tokens. Other: books, medals and "Fun Stuff!"

Bill is one of the leading Conder token dealers in the U.S. — please contact him if you're buying or selling!
New material added to price lists regularly — Something for everyone!

The Copper Corner - New Owner in 2020!

Updated 11/6/2019.
The current price list is #98 (now #99), and #100 will be Bill's last offering, with a lot of special things in it. The Copper Corner has been sold; the new owner takes over in May or so next year. He is building a modern web site that will have photos and a check-out system to buy items. His name is Brian Herriott, and you shall hear much more of him as we go along. He will probably send you messages himself soon enough.

This has been a fine ride, with wonderful customers, and I will not really be gone. I am keeping The Copper Corner website, and on it you will find medals, western Americana, and other things that I have accumulated. You will even be able to buy one of my classic cars, all drivers!

As of June 10, 2013, you could access this website via the alternative address condertoken.com. However, this name has been transferred to Tim Rollins, and no longer forwards to The Copper Corner. Please note that "token" is singular in this name; there is no "s" on the end.
