Aidan Work Banned New Zealand 306 Posts	Posted 08/27/2006 7:23 pm Does anyone have the prices of these very interesting pieces from Prince Edward Island? The obverse of these pieces have the inscription,'SPEED THE PLOUGH' with a plough in the centre of the coin.The reverse of these pieces have the inscription,'SUCCESS TO THE FISHERIES' with a gutted fish in the centre of the coin.To work out the date of issue,the 1840 issues have a clevis on the plough,& the 1857 issues have a hook on the plough.(Note;Look to the right-hand side of the coin to find the clevis or hook.) I have got one of the 1857 issue with the hook on the plough.There are also 2 sub-types as well,both differing in the tail on the gutted fish. Aidan. Report this Post to the Staff

ichirensha Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 08/29/2006 10:09 pm Is that monkey pondering my post and wondering if I speak properly? Yeh, I don't KNOW much about PEI coins but I have my eye on a couple of 1871's. And Aidan, I saw a few examples of the plough coin on ebay...interesting coin. Report this Post to the Staff
