I like the tokens.
You should try to find the penny that goes with your half penny.

I can just see that starting :)
All because I bought another token at the coin shop....
I will probably start collecting tokens now... They are quite interesting. The first one has a die crack. Its a bank of upper canada one penny.

Well the penny, to the one you posted, would be a little bigger and go nicely with the one you have...
You should post the upper canada one.

I love how the die crack looks like an extension of the sword.

The die crack is in a nice place.
Do you have the half penny?

Not yet... I've been looking for one, but I haven't won one for my price yet. I got the one penny from my local coin store, but he doesn't see many like that down here in Arizona! LOL

The Quebec Bank Token Half Penny 1852 is listed as PC-3 in the Charlton.
The Bank of Upper Canada Token One Penny 1857 is listed as PC-6D. There is also dates of 1850, 1852, 1854 and 1857 (both sizes) in this series if you like it.

Thanks for the information, realpenny. I have the "regular" Charlton but not the others.

I borrowed an old Charlton 'Canadian Colonial Tokens' from the library. I don't know much about tokens but like them. Here are some links to Breton's material below in pdf (copyright has expired - public domain) for anyone interested in the history. There is some info not in the Charlton. 1.
