Gebs New Member Netherlands 34 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 2:45 pm So today I picked up this one. It is Nova Scotia token NS-20A3 according to Charlton. But if you look closley you can see it is an overstruck. Most clear around the date 1813, you can aware London. Anyone an idea what the original token/coin it was? There is also an overstruck mentioned on coins and canada, that looks similar. Report this Post to the Staff

Gebs New Member Netherlands 34 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 3:19 pm Here some outlining of what I have found. Charlton mentions that the halfpennies are struck on bristol halfpennies. So some searching I came across this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1811-BRI....c100623.m-1 Report this Post to the Staff
blargish Valued Member Canada 99 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 6:34 pm You nailed it. Most NS-20's, along with many other tokens of that time period, are struck over 1811 Bristol Tokens for Samuel Guppy's Sheathing Nail Manufactory Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2531 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 7:23 pm those guppy's took a beating on more than one occasion - including the half penny issue which was host to the 1813 eagle token (among others) Coin Collecting...

blargish Valued Member Canada 99 Posts	Posted 10/28/2020 12:54 am Couldn't help myself fortcollins, haha Here's an example of NS-20A1 in my collection that is similarly struck over a Bristol penny, and a Wellington token (WE-2B2) struck over a Bristol halfpenny. The overstrike does not show as well in this example but is noticeable on the obverse head and the reverse lettering. Wade, that is a super nice 1813 eagle!

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 842 Posts	Posted 10/28/2020 09:59 am I've shown this coin a few years back but I thought I'd add it to this thread as it shows the host coin so strongly. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

colonialtokens Pillar of the Community United States 828 Posts	Posted 12/23/2020 10:06 pm Several years ago I posted a query concerning such overstruck tokens. If the overstrike is pristine and shewing no evidence of wear, but the host token is trashed, what grade does it deserve. Why should the condition of the host token be taken into consideration when grading. The over-strike is as struck. doug Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2531 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 12:52 pm I would assume that the grade of the host should have nothing to with the grade of the restrike. It wouldn't matter if the host was G or MS, however an MS strike might show through the restrike more promenentally. Personally I prefer a more of the host showing and although it wouldn't change the grade it definately adds value (to me) Coin Collecting... "I'm in it for the money" ™ Report this Post to the Staff
