As nice as that would have been SPP-Ottawa this way I still get some more time to enjoy the hunt.
Whenever you get anything Maritimes, especially New Brunswick or Cape Breton, and you want to sell it you could probably twist my arm into sending you some money.

I find that some of the Bell Museum tokens are tough to track down for some years. This one is the toughest. The 1984 McPuffin Dollar, but with the Silver Dart on one side, and the other side commemorating the visit of Prince Michael of Kent. It was handed out to school kids, who visited Baddeck for the 75th anniversary and replica of the Silver Dart out on the ice of the Bras d'Or Lakes - I got mine as a school kid, as I was there, and have never seen another in 30 years.

It's not an easy one to come by. I've had three (still have two, the other I gave to a close friend - I picked that particular one up in the Bernie Kline auction after he passed - he had two himself), but have a definite fondness for it. I was reading a book on the Oland family of Moosehead beer fame the other night and it mentioned how PW Oland survived the explosion as a child when the Oland brewery was demolished and I immediately thought that, since he died in 1996, he was likely issued a medal in 1992 as a survivor!

Neat! Yes, I actually bought the CBRM token from Citadel coins, thank you for the heads up.
I now actually have doubles of one of Woodstock, NBs silver tokens so I might shop it around for a possible trade in with a fellow trade token collector.

Not very often I find a new piece of Cape Breton exonumia, but I picked this one up recently. I actually remember this event, as a young teenager growing up in Cape Breton.

That is cool chequer. I found a copy of the book for sale on abebooks. I am doing a coin booth at my town's culture fair on the 26th and I will probably spend what ever I make on a copy of that book.
Is Tom coming down to the Woodstock coin show on Oct. 24th? He was the one I bought the centennial Saint John coin club wooden nickel from. He said only 200 were made. If he does come down tell him to bring any and all Atlantic Canada exo he may have for sale.

You would think I would see more copies of that book around, but I only know of this set I have. I should keep an eye open locally since both authors were from Fredericton when the issued them.
Tom said he plans to sell at the show and I relayed your message.

I picked up a couple more cheques off Tom at the show, I love the old fountain pen signatures. You can really see how they were signed by watching how the nib would have opened and closed!
Citadel coin had a slew of silver proof trade tokens for sale. I just got back into town after being away from the internet for 5 days and see only on is left. I was thinking ab out picking up the silver Rita's tea room. Did either one of you guys pick up the 5 or so silver tokens? If so congrats!
I am going to send an email off to Gerald Freehan to see if he will take a money order for some other tokens he has as the girl who does my ebaying is sick and I do not use a debit.
