Is mine unusual or is this a common variation? Report this Post to the Staff

They don't have a great photo in the book though. Report this Post to the Staff

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 03/30/2009 1:40 pm I find them very close, but there may be a difference. It's difficult with the difference in grades though. That one on ebay is from a dealer where I live ... very nice token. I do see what you're talking about though and it may very well be a variety, as the book I mentioned stated that minor varieties do exist, but they didn't price any varieties. I'd hang on and see if there's someone around with a better knowledge of Colonials Report this Post to the Staff
