Post Your Canadian Tokens

That's a big time acquisition 1960NYGiants!

Anyone else pick up anything from Part II of the Partrick sale? I (again) was the underbidder on both of the Riseing Sun Tavern Blacksmith examples and completely struck out between both sales... Going to have to wait for another one!

@Nyg
I'm well aware of PE-3×...however, I noticed this a while ago...the "DMC" is the Dennis McCarthy, but these are typical McCausland pennies

UPDATE on this one:



I returned it for refund as it arrived all buffed and whizzed

The photos don't show it, but all the high points had a mirror finish.

So just a heads up to anyone interested as I am sure it will get relisted.

And also Wellington token WE-2A2

With a repunced second N in Penny

My first proof Canadian token acquired in 1990.



I first came across proof Canadian tokens at the Long Beach show in 1990 when I purchased the example above from Saul Hendler, a Canadian dealer. My idea was to put together a proof set of the 7 types of penny/halfpenny pairs cataloged in Charlton. However, it was much tougher than I thought it would be and by 1997 the set was only half completed when I quit collecting.

When the collecting bug bit again in 2006, I began adding a piece here and there until only the Mayflower tokens of Nova Scotia remained. I had to consider whether it was realistic to acquire the Nova Scotia penny and halfpenny tokens in proof. It was the Robins' sales that had my head spinning with MS/SP/PF examples. After searching so long, I opted to include mint states examples of the Mayflower tokens in an otherwise proof set.

Here's the set of 14 tokens (all NGC graded except PC-2B from PCGS).



Many of these tokens were graded almost 15 years ago and do not appear in the NGC census.

Outstanding!

"Any chance of seeing the NB-2A it's one of my favourite tokens."

I'm digging around for images of the penny but in the meantime here's the halfpenny.
