Thank you JimmyD - I'm wanting to get one coin/token dated in the 1800's from all of Canada's Provinces.
Thanks Hondo

Nice tokens, everybody...keep them coming!
Here's an update on one I posted two months ago, a "Field Marshal Wellington" penny. My notes on its old flip gave it an attribution WE-4A2, which is the plain edge variety, but I took a closer look while re-packaging everything as part of my auction prep and discovered that what I actually have is the vertically reeded edge. This is the token, now correctly identified as Charlton WE-4A3. And here's my awful iPhone snapshot of the reeded edge, which apparently pushes this token off the Charlton value scale thanks to its high grade. MS-64, anyone? (That's only my prediction; it will be TPG'd and slabbed before it sees any hammer action.)

Thank you, Gebs! Can't say too much until they've shipped in a few weeks, but it'll be at least two sales by one of Canada's top three auction houses, with a target date of November for the first pass. I'm extracting well over two hundred items, of which 180+ are pre-Confederation tokens, so there's some sensitivity to the possibility of "flooding the market" with material that could compete against itself. I'm looking at a spreadsheet that (so far) shows 16 PE's, 33 NS's, 65 LC's, 40+ WE's, etc., with almost no duplication.
I'll start using my signature for some shameless marketing as soon as I have a date. In the meantime, it dawns on me that this very forum could give you a pretty good overview, or sneak preview, of my "vast holdings." Just flip back through the last five years or so for a few dozen highlights!
Can't be sure, but this might have been my first True North posting on CCF...Charlton WE-13A, Breton 985, Withers 1505, CCCS MS-63.
