Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1224 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 5:10 pm I really like these tokens they look so much like an error. I believe one's with no signs of the underlying coin are worth more and harder to find but I like them with a strong underlying design showing. However I have no idea of what to look for in grading these any help would be greatly appreciated. If I'm correct it's a Lower Canada token circa 1812 and the Cat. # is LC-49A1.

colonialtokens Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 6:13 pm These were usually struck over a host coin. As such, grading is perplexing. As far as I am concerned, the condition of the host coin should not be taken into consideration. The grade should only reflect the condition of the re-strike. Yours is a typical F-VF. doug Report this Post to the Staff

I was kind of hoping others would show some more of these tokens as the one's I come across online don't seem to have an underlying coin showing. Cheers, SIC Report this Post to the Staff
