<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Larry Moran, post: 1020780, member: 4580&quot;]<b>Does this look like bronze to you?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look in an edition of Krause taht pertains to the 19th century, the 1800&#039;s, in Canada and find <b>Upper Canada</b> which was a province.&nbsp; It&#039;s a special case and one of the small number of tokens listed in Krause. I looked in Krause again tonight, and I own several of these tokens.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>-------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p><b>The catalog number in Krause is <b>KM# Tn2</b> for the half penny tokens 1850-57.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Mintage figures run from high of 750,000,000 examples of the 1852 half penny, and 750,000 in 1850 and 1854, </p><p><br /></p><p>-----------------</p><p><br /></p><p>The catalog number for the <b>one penny tokens is <b>KM#Tn3</b></b> for the copper penny tokens of 1850-57.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one that stuck out upon reviewing the mintage figures after looking up Upper Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were 1,854 bronze tokens <b>(KM# Tn3a)</b> struck in 1854 and an indication that some were struck in 1857, but no mintage figures or prices are listed. But if none were struck an 1857 date would not appear there, would it?&nbsp; Perhaps there were a fewer than the 1,854 struck in 1854.</p><p><br /></p><p>No prices are listed for any of the bronze one penny tokens <b>(KM# Tn3a)</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps mine is a rarer-than-I-thought bronze proof, or prooflike.&nbsp; Hmm...</p><p>Obviously struck at Heaton in London and the last year of issue for the series.&nbsp; </p><p>Hmm...&nbsp; MY $200 max bid and my auction victory at $31.50 USF seems pretty good right now.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/Larrymo123/after%208-9-09/StGeorgeOBV940.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/Larrymo123/after%208-9-09/StGeorgeREV940.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for making me refer to Krause again.&nbsp; Good news, I think, that I had not so fully understood before.&nbsp; : )</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
