Post Your Canadian Tokens

No clue here as to what the right price might be for that token, Wade, but I do believe that among numismatists and exonumismaniacs alike the technical term for it would be "Gorgeous."

I figured my 2500th post better be in the tokens forum,

while not exceptionally pretty this 1832 over 1382 is my most recent addition.

early on when I started collecting I had an AU version but replaced it with an MS65 example... only to find out the MS65 was the 1832 over 1882

had already sold the original before I noticed

@1960NYGiants:
It's a very nice lot.

The PC-6B1 tokens of +/- uncirculated grade are really uncommon (Especially the Courteau #234).

Some are misidentified by the TPG, but not yours

I think this one was in the Robins collection uncertified.

Congrats, to the pontiff from the mysterious East (at least to us in the T.O. area). According to your name/icon, you are nearing 9500 posts.

War is imminent ! Blargish's avatar (US flag PEI token) just unleashed a broadside at my ship !




Couldn't pass it up. PE10-32, does anyone have a ship salvage operation ?

Wade's thistle token is NS-3C1, the flaw under the nose appears on 3C2, 3D1, 3D2.

Was it used as a button? Many old coins were!

Thanks for the clarification TerryT and Wade.

TerryT, that blast to the hull may have done the job! As I'm sure I have said before, I cannot recommend Christopher Faulkner's book Imperial Designs enough for those that are interested in the series, and colonial tokens in general. That book is a treasure trove of numismatic and historical information that reaches far beyond the Ships series and PEI.

As for that specific variety (PE-10-32), whenever I come across that characteristic die flaw projecting off the right of the unfurled mizzen (rear) sail, I'm always hoping to see the round knob ampersand on the other side (PE-10-33). That variety is pretty rare and fetches a nice premium; you can still come across unattributed examples once in a blue moon!
