Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 06/15/2012 1:33 pm I've recently acquired a Canadian cent dated 1859, stamped or countermarked on the reverse in capital letters L. C. BARBEAU COURTIER (BROKER) MONTREAL CANADA I think the coin is almost extremely fine, though the head is almost obliterated by the impact of the countermarks. The lettering is in perfect condition. 1. Is this a recognised issue of the period ? 2. Was it done for advertising or for a different purpose (what) ? 3. What did L. C. BARBEAU do or sell ? 4. Is there an online catalogue of such items ? 5. What is the approximate value ? Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 05:10 am trout1105, It's not for sale at the moment, and I'm not qualified to sell through this forum. In any case, I like to find out as much as I can about unusual coins before I pass them on - can you answer my questions please ? My fascination is with the coins and their history, not just to make a quick profit. Report this Post to the Staff
