Found this 1850 Bank of Upper Canada Half Penny Bank Token in a coin shop yesterday and thought it was in great shape for a good price so I picked it up. I'm not huge on Canadian currency but this one struck me because it states "Bank Token" which to me seems very interesting. What grade would you guys give it?

Thanks Everyone

you have some damage issues, and obviously some wear.

these coins were extremely well made, compared to regular decimal series you almost have to be thinking specimen or prooflike.

1850 is the hardest of the 4 issues (1850,1852,1854,1857) to find in high grades (1857 being the easiest)

yours appears VG10 maybe F12

here is an (1854) MS64 for comparison

These are neat tokens.

I would grade it Fine, but as Wade said it does have a little damage.

I love your new avatar Wade!
