aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 02:42 am If these tokens form part of the group of coins you featured in an earlier post then for $40.- I would suggest you made a very good purchase. I don't believe that any of them are that rare but they are not common either and on ebay I have seen the Nova Scotia tokens fetch $5 to $10.- dependent upon condition. These links will give you more background information:- http://www.coinsandcanada.com/token...articles.php https://www.jandm.com/script/getite...ID=10&PID=60 Report this Post to the Staff

youngloonie Valued Member Canada 173 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 3:09 pm nice tokens, I wonder what the comparable purchasing power of these tokens would be today if inflation was factored out Report this Post to the Staff
errorone2012 Valued Member Canada 334 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 6:22 pm It amazes me how tokens like these can be had for relatively very little . Just image the history some of these pieces could tell . Report this Post to the Staff

And for me how this group of coins ended up in a small collection in a small town in Florida. These coins below were the only coins this guy had, other than common U.S silver. And he just wanted to get rid of them. He is shopping his silver around town for the best price. I hope to pick up the silver coins this week. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 10:57 pm Canadian "snowbirds" are present in large numbers in Florida in the wintertime. Perhaps someone needed to sell these to cover his plane fare back to Ottawa in the spring! Report this Post to the Staff
