Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1223 Posts	Posted 08/01/2019 2:17 pm This token wasn't minted on a new planchet it was minted over a Bristol penny. The end result was that it never completely removed the design of the host coin making it much more difficult to grade. I've guessed on the grade at F-15 but this isn't grounded in experience or knowledge. Any and all help on the grade would be very much appreciated? Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

ainsivalavie Valued Member Canada 221 Posts	Posted 08/03/2019 01:11 am If it helps, here are five ICCS certified circulated coins from my colonial token grading archives. So, based on these, your token is obviously lower than VF-20. Personally, I would probably say F-15. Note: In my archives I have about a dozen examples of certified tokens of this variety, but none of a grade lower than VF-20. Sorry... I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day. Edited by ainsivalavie 08/03/2019 01:14 am Report this Post to the Staff
