Well, depends upon your priorities.
For me, identifying a coin or token is as much fun as finding out that it is worth a few dollars.
And then there are the historical factors:
What was going on in Quebec? Was there a coin shortage?
Was this a promotional item issued by a remote trading outpost?

The members can help find you answers to most questions, but it is up to you
to define "good news."

Ok, I define good news as, I have something in my possession that will help me pay my mortgage payment next week....or provide the 16,000 dollars that our accounting firm is demanding to release a net loss statement that took a year and half to complete to end a law suit against the government of Canada that is 5 and a half years running...

...with only two months left before the statute of limitations runs out.

I'm in a dark hole, have sold off everything to get to this point and am now 25-50,000 dollars short of forcing the government to the negotiating table, else the evidence of our case goes to national press.

I've got everything done and finished...and have run out of gas. If I don't succeed then I've lost everything including my credibility, credit rating...have nothing but a pile of debt that I can never get away from except to change my name or leave the country...

That's what I define as being good news. Where should I go from here? Who can tell me that is trustworthy what this is worth?

I'm beyond scared. This is a matter of life and death, this is the only way I can clear my name...5 and a half years of suffering will be worth nothing, all for a matter of a few thousand dollars in the end.


I need this. If this is worth something please tell me...if not please tell me, I have no time left and must move onto something that can help while my business partners do the same.

Thanks Matthew.

It's called a bouquet sou.

Lower Canada (Quebec) colonial token struck at Belleville Mint, New Jersey, circa 1835. Dies cut by John Gibbs.

Obverse; 2 shamrocks, no blade of grass between 2 thistles on left, bow to left.
Reverse; 20 cherry leaves, small flat bow at bottom, almost closed wreath. VF with damage.

Breton #704, Courteau #27B, Charlton # LC-33A1. Copper-VG $5, Fine $9, VF $30. If it was brass, VG-$400, F-$600, VF-900, but I'm afraid it looks like the copper one.

I agree. I see them for $5-$10 in this condition.
