I looked at about 50 of these today and finally found one that was close to the grade of the One Penny Token I got earlier this month:
hi i must posted about this token but differne t year, i was unaware that the post you had was here. i have one not as good shape as the one you have its a 1 penny 1850.. from what i reads they wee only out in a certain number of years, thinking 1850 was the first year issued.. could i be right
sorry just looked at the spelling mistakes i made,, wow sorry about that, fingers are faster on keyboard then my brain, lol
You're right, 1850 was the first year they were produced and lasted until 1857. Here's a link with more infor (second paragraph down). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coins_of_Upper_Canada
