IMMEDIATE NEWS RELEASE - April 14, 2016
Rare and Expensive Canadian Tokens Being Offered At The Toronto Coin Expo
The Toronto Coin Expo, Canada's premier coin & banknote show, is on tap April 22-23 at the Toronto Reference Library. Geoffrey Bell Auctions is once again official auctioneer showcasing an outstanding array of decimal coins, medals, paper money and tokens.
The Richard Cooper Collection features numerous Canadian rarities. The Owens Ropery token from Montreal is one specimen seldom encountered and estimated to be hammered down at $15,000-$20,000. The Owen's firm lasted only a few years hence the token's rarity with few surviving.
A second token of note is the very rare Hunterstown token. It was issued by a lumber company in Hunterstown, Quebec. Employees were paid with the tokens. Few specimens have survived and therefore are expected to bring $10,000-$15,000.
A very scarce Weir & Larminie encased one cent United States stamp is anticipated to bring $7,000-$8,000. This firm of Montreal bankers was the only Canadian company to use this type of token because of a shortage of circulating coin.
The Bell auction includes the most extensive collection of Presbyterian communion tokens offered in many decades. These crudely made pieces of base metal were used commonly before 1867 in the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario. Tokens were given to church adherents by church elders who acted as moral watchdogs. Those that didn't pass the moral test were denied communion. The tokens showed biblical images of the Bible, communion table or the burning bush for example.
Geoffrey Bell Auctions invite the public to attend April 21 and 22 auction at the Bram & Bluma Appel Salon, 789 Yonge Street. All auction lots can be viewed at http://www.gbellauctions.com.
The Toronto Coin Expo is Canada's premier coin & banknote show. Hosting world renowned coin and banknote dealers. The public is invited to the bourse floor where 52+ dealer tables will be buying, selling and appraising coins, medals, tokens and banknotes from Canada and the world. For full information, please visit http://www.torontocoinexpo.ca.

PRESS RELEASE - BOOK LAUNCH AT TORONTO COIN EXPO
The third edition of the Canadian Paper Money Society Note Registry will be available at the Toronto Coin Expo April 22 - 23, at the Toronto Reference Library, Bram & Bluma Appel Salon.
It has been three years since the previous edition of the Registry was released, and the new book is approximately 100 pages longer than the second edition. Listings have been revised and updated, and many new note registers have been added. Most of the newly added registers have been published in the CPMS Journal over the past three years but a few have not been previously published.
The Registry will inform collectors on the rarity of a broad range of Canadian paper money. Some vendors may attempt to mislead potential buyers by representing the number of notes graded by a particular grading company as the total in existence.
Notes known to have been stolen have been clearly identified in the Registry. The book will pay for itself many times over if it helps to avoid the purchase of a stolen note.
Defects of specific notes, where known, have been recorded, and again, the Registry will prove to be a very valuable resource if it leads to the discovery of some undisclosed repair.
The Registry is divided into six sections: Provincial, Dominion, Bank of Canada, Chartered Bank, Merchant Scrip and Municipal Scrip.
The book sells for $45 ($35 for CPMS members) if purchased at the Toronto Coin Expo. Copies requiring mailing within Canada will cost $15 more.
