@Wade:
Your 1/2 Penny 1854 Crosslet «4» from the Doug Robins collection, to my knowledge, this is the only one certified Uncirculated by the most reputable certification companies. And personally, I have also seen very few uncertified ones over the years. It's a rare example. This token should never have been sold in a lot of many tokens at the Heritage sale.
For your 1 Penny 1852 Large «2» (Heaton Mint), it's the most frequent variety PC-6B5 for this issue (Courteau #249 with a frequency of about 6.5% compared to all one penny 1852). It's a beautiful uncirculated token. However, contrary to what I often read on this forum, I generally refrain from grading a coin/token via a photo when the grade exceeds MS-60.
I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

This token should never have been sold in a lot of many tokens at the Heritage sale. I couldn't agree more. Neither NGC or Heritage listed the crosslette 4 variety & I wonder if some were distracted by others in the group. I paid a premium for the lots I purchased, but would do it again in a heart beat as I managed to add some really really nice tokens to my collection. Scorp & IGE, thank you for the kind words, acquiring these was relatively easy compared to acquiring the knowledge within this series (something I am still working on, and somehow think I will never finish) |

Always nice to see the ones we really want, but now back to an actual coin that was used, that isn't as pretty The last of my semi-regal original Nova Scotia tokens; 1843 penny Four Fringes, 3 over 0. NS-2D3 (PNS-802 R-8). I won this on ebay when the variety was not listed in the auction and no one else noticed it. As such I didn't pay any more than $25 for it. Not sure how to grade it (only VG-F-VF listed in my Charlton) but I'm thinking F-12 ? The underlying 0 is almost invisible when seen straight on (photo 3), but shows up with the light at an angle (photo 4). There is only a small part of the 0 in front of the 3 and a very thin line behind. Have a look also at how they made the 8.     Any interest in the counterfeits ? Sorry, no thousand+ dollar 1382's, but have most of the others. Edited by TerryT

@hounddog - yes, Charlton Token Catalogue 9th edition list 5 types of Military Buttons that were flattened to make tokens. British Militia 1775; Montreal British Militia; Montreal Fire Brigade; Quebec Militia; British Regiment of Foot, 25th, 69th, and 76th (rarest). My example is one of the most common.
Economic conditions between 1830 + 1870 had to be truly dire if one had to resort to squashing your buttons to pay for commerce.
