Quote: Pretty sure that an octagonal Ike would win by universal acclaim. It may have, that is until bd251 and triggersmob stepped up.  Now I can honestly say no Ikes were harmed during this round of YAFG.

Jbuck can you send that off to a coin grading company and get it verified. :)

Quote: bd251, those are really sweet! And they are in excellent condition. You are the leader at this point, for both beauty and aesthetics. Thank you for sharing your treasures with us! Thanks! This is a series that I "accidentally" started collecting a few months ago. I have two others, but already had this nicely arranged picture from a recent purchase. These tokens didn't circulate due to hyperinflation at the time. The designs are beautiful, especially the buildings.

I think that this version has run it's course. I nominate bd251 as winner because of that beautiful display of tokens. triggersmob had a nice selection, too. As for jbuck's submission....

1832 George IV Nova Scotia One Penny Token. Probably a contemporary counterfeit, as the weight (14.98 g) and diameter (33.58 mm) are below those listed on Numista for authentic tokens, but within the range they list for cast counterfeits.   8 points: 3 - Nova Scotia 2 - Copper/bronze coin over 25mm 1 - 1803-1883 +1 - token +1 - image of a thistle
