Didn't have a single William IIII coin and I collect Canadian tokens and have a handful of Great Britain coins. This penny was not frequently used in British North America. But in 1832, a special shipment was sent to Upper Canada. Those pennies are known to have been dated 1831. I don't think the Canadians were very fond of him. So I bought it. I like the way it looks.

I collect Gates-related exonumia, and this is one of the nicest examples I've ever seen of the later Mystery Car tokens - not only was it apparently never put into one of the standard 5-slot holders, it looks prooflike -- perhaps a specimen strike or sample piece. Has a nice "ring" to it, which is odd since these are nominally copper-nickel.

Quote: This beauty showed up yesterday, a lovely bit of rainbow toning, much more easily seen in hand. I have several other Rosies with the same toning. Very nice!

That 1/2 gulden is geeeorgous. I love the way that blue velour (or whatever the material is) tones the edges. Often found on 1887 GB coins from similar boxes.

Andrew99, If I might ask, what is the grade on the 1875 Twenty Cent Piece? It is a beauty! Is it a San Francisco mint coin?
