Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 7:08 pm I got interested in Canadian tokens about 2 years ago when I got a few in a miscellaneous auction lot, including a couple with countermarks, and I've since acquired more. I can only afford to buy 1 book as I have other collecting interests. I've seen advertised Coins and Canada 2013 Professional Edition Price Guide - see http://coinsandcanada.com/shop-coinsandcanada.php and Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens - (9th edition, I think) Which reference catalogue is best for Canadian tokens and why, please ?

colonialtokens Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 11:18 pm Charlton is excellent, so also is Whitman's "A Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens," authored by Doctor Haxby. Both are available on ebay under Coins / Publications. doug Report this Post to the Staff
colonialtokens Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 08/18/2014 9:55 pm Two copies of New Brunswick Tokens by Dr. Bird are currently on ebay. The book was published some twenty years ago and is an excellent work explaining the variety attributions of Doctor Eugene Courteau. doug Report this Post to the Staff
CanadianCoins1999 Valued Member Canada 335 Posts	Posted 08/18/2014 10:56 pm I found this on Kijiji http://www.kijiji.ca/v-oeuvre-d-art...ionFlag=true I looks like a nice book, but 100 is too much, maybe 20$. Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 08/18/2014 11:02 pm This looks like a very early edition and has value as a collector's item in its own right. If you just want the data, you can buy a new reprint for 32.95. http://www.colonialacres.com/produc...ed-to-canada Report this Post to the Staff

Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 08/24/2014 9:17 pm There is a free book on that subject in the Archives linked to the supplies sub forum, I used it when I was acquiring a set of Ruthford tokens. I have Dr. Bird's book too and it really explains the frigate tokens of N.B.. A good all around reference though Dr. Haxby's book though, can't go wrong with it and easily found.
