I have about thirty certified tokens in my photo archive of this varieties, and yours on photos certainly exceeds grade EF-40. Personally, I would say between EF-45 and AU-50. Example with this one certified AU-55 by ICCS:  And this one EF-40 by ICCS:  I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

Thought I'd post in here to get my Coin Community career started. Been pretty obsessed with learning about colonial tokens recently. A couple of recent-ish ebay pickups... LC-9B4 // absolutely love the reverses on these guys! Didn't realize this was one of the slightly rarer varieties until I after I received it  NB-2B2 // a small touch of original luster here and there  |

 the 1837 appears to be around 35/40, old cleaning (rainbow hue) but it's not distracting the 1854 appears to have suffered environmental damage, the bright copper spots are likely due to removal of verdigris which, while appearing all nice and shiny, is not an indication of mint luster (this coin has some mileage, there is no mint luster left). 1837 $30. 1854 $10-$15. see below as to what can happen when verdigris is removed  |

Did catch the old cleaning on the habitant token (I almost like the re-toned look more) and was happy to pick one up with that much detail for a lot less than 30 bucks  As for the New Brunswick token, I noticed the verdigris below the Y on the reverse, and now what you're saying makes perfect sense.

 welcome to the ccf family (again) and please keep posting pictures of your tokens & coins it's easy for one to become complacent with their own collection, where as seeing other coins helps keep everyone in the "educational" mindset. (bottom line, what I am trying to say is even a veteran collector - which I am not - can still learn about their own coins by studying someone else's). your contributions to the CCF site, and hobby, are appreciated. |
