Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 10/06/2009 06:46 am Yes, collectors of Canadian Colonial tokens are familiar with seeing Breton numbers (ICCS uses them on their flips when authentication/grading them) and my book, The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens even references them although they have their own numbering system. You will see reference to the Breton number in ebay auctions as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Just paste the title into the search field: Histoire illustree des monnaies et jetons du Canada. Depending on how old the collection is, you may run into items catalogued by Courteau, Haxby-Willey, or Lees, too. Courteau is cross-referenced along with Breton and Willey (of Haxby-Willey) in the Charlton book mentioned above by Sapyx. For Courteau, the correct search term in archive.org is The Canadian Bouquet-sous (1908). Lees, who covered PEI only, but in phenomenal depth, shows up in the H-W books, which were Charlton's predecessors. Charlton's 6th edition is currently available at all the good online collector's supply houses. The 7th edition is due out by the end of the year. Happy hunting!
