Charlton Token Catalogue Varieties For LC-5 Questions

From an old Bell auction lot.


Important Study Lot of the Banque du Peuple Sou, Breton 715, CH LC-5 - This lot of 61 pieces formed the basis for George Thomson's definitive study of Breton 715, which appeared as "A Mystery or the Open and Shut Case of the Maple Leaf Wreath: A Story of the Hart," in The CN Journal, vol. 42, no. 4 (May 1997): 171-182. Thomson's article is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the bouquet sou series and his documentation of the varieties of Breton 715 provided the entries for CH LC-5A1 to CH LC-5A6 in the Charlton Standard Catalogue Canadian Colonial Tokens. The lot includes 6 of the scarce open wreath examples, one of which is said to be with a plain edge; 21 closed wreath examples with the dot between T R of MONTREAL; 20 closed wreath of the so-called Ferguson variety with the die flaw between DA of CANADA; and, 14 regular closed wreath varieties. As per Thomson's article, there are specimens with thick or thin bow to the wreath, open or closed C in CANADA, and on planchets of varying thickness, not to mention other minor characteristics which were not reported.

I also have trouble with those pesky bows. I would be interested in that article also. Any chance of getting a copy ?
My family name is also Thomson, so when anyone would ask my father his name to write down, he would say, "Thomson, dry, no p(ee)".
