This interface is designed to help to identify tokens. Some series contain many very similar designs, e.g. Anglesey pennies and halfpennies, Warwickshire John Wilkinson series, Cheshire Macclessfield halfpennies, Cronebane halfpennies &c. Unexperienced collector is often having hard time finding his variety among pages and pages of quite similar tokens. I am trying to devise ways to speed the identification up. Some would say that digging the coin up in the catalogue is a priceless fun; of course sometimes it is, but not always. Fortunately you are not obliged to use this identification help.
