I'm retiring from acquiring! Please note my new temporary signature below...two sales in one with Good Stuff for collectors of either/both 19th-century British and Canadian colonial exonumia.

Meanwhile, earlier this afternoon I posted a question/discussion on our CCF general Canada forum -- check it out! -- about the so-called "Borderline Tokens," basically asking whether they're a discredited concept, or do Canadian exonumismatists acknowledge the Borderline series and include them in their collections?

As it happens, I have all but a few of the tokens designated by Fred Bowman in his 1966 CNJ article as Borderlines, chiefly because most of them are also included in the 1904 Davis and 1999 Withers catalogs of early 19th-century British copper tokens, the material I collect.

Here's an example, an 1813 Commerce Seated penny token that Withers calls, "...the quite shameless use of dies to make mules for general sale."


Bowman 4, Withers 1681a (edge variant), Davis Channel Islands 12, 34mm, 19.1g, RRR.

Encountered much less frequently, this is Tobias D. Seaman's token as it was eventually produced, circa 1837. It's now considered a Hard Times token and designated HT-204.


@daltonista - This is a fantastic example of this token. Nicest I've seen.
