Hello again, here are pictures of 4 coins that were given to me about 14 yrs ago, they were purchased at an antique Auction in Ottawa, never took the time to get them appraised and I'm clueless, some I know are pretty bad shape, I did a search on tokens here on the forums but have not found much, other than it might be worth gold or it might be worth next to nothing.

This first one is a upper canada token, I cannot make out what year it is nor what denomination as it is in very rough shape

This second one is fairly run down, but can read all the writings and date: 1832 one penny

Tokens Tokens

this one is my best one: half penny 1844

Tokens Tokens

this one is my oldest, half penny 1820. one side is in pretty good shape but the other is completly run down but the date is still readable

#1 is a "Brock token" of Upper Canana (Ontario), named after the General Brock they commemorate. If the reverse were less well worn, you'd be able to read the date "1816" in the centre. Listed in the catalogues as Charleton #106, Breton #724. This similar one sold fairly cheaply on ebay.

#2 is a Nova Scotia currency token. Even though they say "token", these are considered proper "coins", since the colonial government sanctioned their issue. Listed in the Krause world coin catalogues as KM #2. CV $3 in VG condition, according to my 2004 edition.

#3 is also listed in Krause, although being a bank token it's listed with the tokens. The issuing entity was the United Province of Canada, now known as Quebec and Ontario. This one is listed as KM# Tn19, $17.50 in Very Fine.

#4 is another privately issued Ontario token. The reverse shows two crossed shovels and an anvil, with the legend "Commercial Change". Listed as Ch# 109, Br# 727. Apparently it's one of the commoner token types; this one sold for under CAN$10.

Edited #3 for facticity.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
