I have what I believe in a Canadian contemporary counterfeit Tiffin token with 9 harp strings -


Tiffin-Type-Token
Tiffin-Type-Token

Is the 9-string particularly scarce? And what might it be worth? (Similar items on ebay are "all over the place".


Many thanks,
Bill

This Canadian Colonial series is affectionately referred to as the "Bust and Harp."
Charlton lists this series as LC-60 (lower Canada). Your token is further identified
as LC-60E2. A number of variations within this series exists. Doctor Eugene Courteau
identified 26 varieties of this series. Your token is identified as Courteau 15.
Variety 15 has a rareity factor of 1 (on a scale of 1-10). Your token should grade
VF 30, perhaps XF 40.
