JimNWLincoln Pillar of the Community United States 906 Posts	Posted 11/28/2016 11:09 pm "Ships Colonies and Commerce" tokens were emergency money that passed as a halfpenny. The issue circulated primarily in Prince Edward Island between 1830 and the 1860's though they were also known in New Foundland and in lower Canada. The later pieces with a well defined sailing ship were designed by Thomas Halliday whose initial "H" appears on many varieties. An article in the January 1917 Numismatist , the monthly publication of the American Numismatic Association, by W.A.D. Lees, identifies 54 varieties of SC&C tokens. http://coinsite.com/ships-colonies-...erce-tokens/ Report this Post to the Staff
