As much as I love coin 1 for its simple design (its a Prince Edward Island token if I remember right)

2 is just so much more superior !

#2 Easiest decision of my life. #2 has a greater design and a very cool history behind it.

Both are excellent but I'm going with 2 because of the design and because I love Condor Tokens.

Interesting factoid, back in the early 1970's Condor Tokens were looked down on as "not real coins" (this was before the fad for mass commemorating non-events) and I used to buy them for 35p, 40p if in exceptional condition or scarce. I wish with hindsight I'd bought more and kept them. Who says you can't make money from coins eh?

Phil there's a guy in his 60's I buy coins from locally who's selling his collection as none of his kids their partners or grand children are interested in coins and he also told me he picked up loads of condors in the 70's in auctions for peanuts and he's been making a massive profit from them selling on eBay !
