THE TOKEN CORRESPONDING SOCIETY

The Conder Token Collectors Club, a club for collectors of the 18th century provisional tokens struck in or for England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland is known to many American collectors - though it has members in England, Europe, Australia, and even Asia. Recently, CTCC members have received a free added bonus with their membership: digital editions of the Token Corresponding Society Bulletin, which is a sister club of sorts.

The Token Corresponding Society is based in the UK, and covers all token issues - from medieval leaden tokens to 21st century issues, and everything in-between, with it's main focus being on the heavy token issuing periods of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. While mainly focused on tokens of the UK, the Society does cover world tokens, including those of the United States. The two clubs have agreed to give their members digital PDF's of the other club's publications, as they are issued, in the hopes of making more collectors aware of the fine articles found in both the Conder Token Collector's Journal and the Token Corresponding Society Bulletin.
