chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 10/08/2009 06:52 am The medal is listed in Jeff Fournier's book Ontario Municipal and Commemorative Medals and he states that there are two versions, one is nickel-silver (obviously the one mentioned) and a gold plated version. The NS version is listed as having a mintage of 100000 and a value of $2.00 and the GP has a mintage of 10000 and a value of $3.00. Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 10/08/2009 09:53 am Thanks, chequer. Is 100,000 high or low for a commemorative? Does the book list a value if both are in the original case? I haven't found any of the gold plated ones online, but in the case I have there is one silver-colored and one a golden hue but it doesn't look like it's been plated the way something like that normally looks. I was really surprised at the difference in pricing online, considering they all look like the same one (nickel-silver). Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 10/08/2009 10:36 am Hi xshift. Yes, 100000 is extremely high. 10000 is even very high for a municipal (provincial in this case) medal. It is the case with so many of the tokens and medals produced in 1967 though. Having the original case is always a bonus, but with so many of these out there, I would suspect that there isn't much, if any, demand. This would be confirmed by the two that aren't selling on ebay. The other guy likely just doesn't have a clue and is hoping they are rare. I would honestly suspect that these are plentiful in dealer's 'junk' boxes. It's a shame with many of these municipal medals being of very nice quality, but they are largely over-looked. The only other thing the book adds is that they were produced by the Wellings Mint.
