Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 10:58 am I have a question pertaining to my 1832 Nova Scotia Half Penny Token. Particularly, I am not certain what to make of the bust type on the obverse. While my Krause shows the bust variety for KM#1, it does not seem to match the details of my coin. However, I see that there is under KM#1a an "1832 imitation." Any help IDing my particular coin as being either the original or the imitation would be greatly appreciated!

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 11:05 am I'm going to have to say it is an imitation. Doesn't match any of the portraits of the non-imitation thistle tokens. Not sure about that blob in front of his mouth though... Report this Post to the Staff

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 12:06 pm Hmm. I wonder if the blob on this one is actually legit or if it was added. Can't see any signs of the 3 as the second digit... Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 12:16 pm DBM- Great info! Thanks for the link. Although it is true that I do not really detect a "3" under the "8", in hand I can definitely see signs of an "8" under the "3". Furthermore, I really do not see any signs of hte blob under the King's nose as being added in any way. Report this Post to the Staff
northcoin Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 1:47 pm This is listed in the Canadian Charlton "Canadian Token Catalog " as NS-3D1. It has the corrected date 8 over 3. The large blob is recognized as a die break. In fine it is listed at $18.00 & in vf $50.00. Report this Post to the Staff

northcoin Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 09:25 am There are approximately 10 different varieties of the 1832 half penny imitation or counterfeit tokens listed, and 6 one penny 1832 tokens listed also the imitation or counterfeit types. The 1382 date error one is listed for $1500.00 in only good condition. They were issued circa 1835, and it is thought they were struck in Montreal or Belleville New Jersey.
