[feedback][/feedback] Hello - I am a new coincommunity forum member and a novice at numismatics. My husband's grandfather collected a few Canadian coins and I was hoping for some feedback. There are 2 1857 Bank of Upper Canada penny tokens, although they each appear to have been made from a different metal, and a 1854 Bank of Upper Canada half-penny token. I would appreciate any information from forum members. Thanks. Barbara Ann

These are Bank Tokens fairly common. Look to be in vf but hard to say from the pictures and only one side. If they were in ef I think they would be worth around $20.00. The one that has what looks like mounting marks is worth less. If you can post the other side I am sure someone more qualified then I will give you a better idea of what you have. Nice coins to have,enjoy them there part of history they are pre confederation currency. These were used just like the coins in your pocket a penny had a penny weight of copper and was traded for their value in metal. Sorry, that actually isn't true today,anyway I'm sure you get the point, it was the currency of the time.Upper Canada is Ontario and the Bank was centered in Toronto {york].Canada became a country in 1867, when these were minted Canada was a Province of Great Britain.
