That's a very cool token Hounddog Bill. I love it!
I wasn't aware that such a token was ever made.
Now I have to start looking for one to buy.
My mother was born in Harbour Grace and most of her brothers and sisters
still live there.
Thanks for posting!

A neat way to determine fine vs coarse wool - on the coarse wool variety the two curls at the top of the fleece to the right of the ribbon give roughly the appearance of "25". This information is taken from Dr. Courteau writings on the Rutherford tokens. This is noticeable on your token.

BTW nice grade!!

The above only applies to the Harbour Grace Tokens
