Alex12780 Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 01:41 am About a year ago I was in Halifax Canada on vacation and I made sure to stop into a coin store my time there. When I was looking around the owner started telling me about this coin he had and I guess trying to get me to buy it. I remember liking it but I totally forget what it's called. I remember it was older, 18th - mid 19th century. It also had an old sailing ship on the reverse I believe. But what was special about the coin was that if the the ship had a Union Jack flying on it then it was worth a bit more as it was far less common, or it was vise versa. Lastly it may have been around the size of a half dollar. Any idea? Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 03:24 am PEI Ships Colonies and Commerce tokens of the early 19thC had flag varieties. Perhaps it was one of these. Hope this is of some help. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 08:20 am Alex, I don't know the answer to your question, but I suggest that you look here: http://goccf.com/t/178687 http://goccf.com/t/80301 to find the answer. Certainly not exhaustive catalogs, but at least a good place to start to find your coin/token.

Alex12780 Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 5:06 pm Thanks for all the help! I think it may be the colonies and commerce tokens. The way the ship is displayed with the large flag to the left does seem familiar. Edited by Alex12780 05/13/2017 5:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
