splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 07/26/2010 10:54 pm The Bank of Upper Canada token from 1850 makes me wonder how many dragons were roaming the land just before confederation. I'm trying to determine the mintages of these and other bank tokens. With my numismatic curiosity piqued, I'm going to try to get a full set from the three banks represented above.

R2bR2c Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 07/27/2010 04:24 am Pick up a Charlton Colonial Token book. They are essential to a good library. If you count varieties of the bank tokens and the 1838/9 side view tokens, you're looking at probably 50 coins, with some in the $750 starting range from VG..... to have a "full set" Report this Post to the Staff
laconic Valued Member Canada 168 Posts	Posted 07/28/2010 09:31 am The latest token book does not list mintages. Did earlier ones? Report this Post to the Staff
billfrak Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 07/31/2010 5:21 pm There are no mintages for these tokens, only a rarity scale 1 being common and 10 being rare (only 1 or 2 pcs known). The Charlton book is only a guide as $750 for the sideview in a nice VG would be a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff
