Nickels_rule Valued Member United States 487 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 3:17 pm Could one of you guys advise me if the title coins are the same as coins listed as "Colonial Canada Province of New Brunswick half penny token"? Silly question I know but as much as I like these "ship" coins I don't want to end up with a bunch of doubles. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 3:57 pm Yes, the half penny token and penny token are the same thing as "Colonial Canada Province of New Brunswick half penny tokens". They where semi regal and not a decimal coin put rather a way to make change for the New Brunswick Pound. However the Half Penny (no token after that) was a part of the New Brunswick Dollar and a different beast, it however does not have the frigate on it you are after. Like Colonialtokens said, Dr. Bird wrote a book on the currency of New Brunswick and covered Courteau's variations. As the die broke down and was repaired minor differences to the sail and what not can be seen. If you are just after a "boat coin" for a theme set I would not worry about getting to involved in that.

Nickels_rule Valued Member United States 487 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 4:07 pm Exactly the kind of information I was looking for, thank you both. @Harmonica Yes, I just wanted to make sure I had an example of the frigate for a theme set. Thanks again for your help. edit: So nice to have expert advisors willing to help..... Edited by Nickels_rule 10/02/2014 4:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
