Geoff Bell, auctioneer and owner of Geoffrey Bell Auctions, said he expects the sale, which includes his collection of about 400 pre-Confederation tokens, to be outstanding. "We're going to have my collection, which is probably the best offered in the last 20 years, and we've got some nice supplementary material from other collectors to go with it," he said.

I'll have a table at the show - do drop by and say hello. Look for the sign that matches my avatar, and the CCF copper token in my display case.
