Are Provincials And Tokens Good Buys?

I personally love provincials. The issue is that information is closely guarded by token collectors, so to really get into them, you need to find someone willing to share, or spend quite a bit building a decent reference library. As was mentioned, they don't find as wide a following as Canadian coinage, but I think that they can be far more rewarding with some patience.

I rarely keep anything over 1858, with the exception of a large cent set, a NFLD type set, and a handful of other key dates in various denominations.

Personally I'm just not intrigued by the repetitive designs of more modern coinage (but hey, to each their own)

There are some serious collectors in this field, but not enough to make the era "highly regarded", but still more than a "small niche".

Enjoy the designs, enjoy the history, and as with any series collect the highest grade you can afford.

I would love to see some pics of what you have.
