One last thing: If yours is brass, you've hit the jackpot, as Charlton lists it in all caps as "EXTREMELY RARE."

Ok, so my pulse is back in the normal range now...

My piece looks to me like copper, and has coinage alignment.

I briefly confused the #4 halfpenny with the #3 bust & harp token which does look like brass, but I'm better now.

Perhaps I should've posted one coin at a time...

Thanks for the info, Daltonista.

Most certainly.

The origianl issue of #3 is quite rare as well.

Okay, now we're cooking, mostlysilver! The combination of copper and the coin turn on your #4 makes it CH LC-57A2. Charlton books it at CDN 30 in VG up to CDN 225 in EF-40.

There is a forum here on CCF entitled "Canadian Coins and Colonial Tokens" where you might want to post it for some spirited grading discussion.

Wash your hands, everybody!

Well, I'm actually headed over to that forum to start posting some tokens. See you there!

mostlysilver, here are the two I have, both of the Fine Head/Normal-82 variety. The one at the top is the thick flan variety, and the one below that is the thin flan version. They weigh in at 7.3g and 5.3g, respectively.

Just using the condition of George's laurel wreath as a benchmark, I'd say your "Crude 82" is a least a full grade "better" than either/both of mine, so nice pickup!
