kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 12:22 pm Does Haxby's book notate a different weight for each composition variety? Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 12:35 pm it doesn't even note a composition, the way it is done is kind of confusing me, does anyone have a copy of "a guide book of Canadian coins and tokens first edition"? the token in question is on p.135.

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 1:53 pm does anyone have info on when this was produced? I am assuming roughly 1820s but want to be sure. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
torgemco Pillar of the Community Canada 1046 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 2:12 pm this is just a guess but I would say a bit earlier K.G.111 died in 1820(?) would they still produce them after His death ? regards Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 5:59 pm Very interesting token DM .. and good read Nickelodeon. So if yours appears to be copper it may well be one of the earlier ones. They where still being introduced as late as 1837 and the latter ones appear to be brass. Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 8:12 pm Quote: do you have pictures ? honestly the coin is almost identical in appearance to the one in the pic above with only slight wear differences but I can try to get scans on Thursday or Saturday. thanks for the help everybody, I traded it for like $25 worth of stamps so I am happy. I had it confused with wood No.5 for a couple days due to their striking similarity. Feel free to call me Will. Edited by thedollarman 05/12/2015 8:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
