<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 2084063, member: 2100&quot;]Looks like I need to keep an eye out for additional reference material on Canadian tokens. All I have is the 2012 &quot;A Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens by James A. Haxby. He only mentions the two tokens for the Banque du Peuple, Breton 716 (Rebellion sou) and Breton 715 (Belleville sou). He does not mention anything about varieties of those tokens, so I can not be of any assistance with that. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the first token (Breton No. 715), and I admit that I have no experience with this series at all, my uneducated guess at a grade would be a VG, and my reference indicates a value of $5. </p><p><br /></p><p>My first thought was that you have the open wreath variety, but upon looking closer, I see what can possibly be two faint points that may touch. It is hard to tell from the photo if it is on the token or is an illusion from the holder. It would be easier to determine with token in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the second token (Breton 716), and again proceeding without experience in this series, I would grade it Fine on the obverse and VF on the reverse. My reference indicates values of F - $32, VF - $50, EF - $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing. I have a small number of old Canadian tokens, which is why I bought the book that I have, but I have yet to go thru and identify mine. What reference is there that provides the more detailed variety listings?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
