[QUOTE="Darkhorse, post: 994428, member: 3454"]Lately I've been feeling a bit of a copper bug, and a bit of wistfulness for my homeland. So, with that in mind I decided to pick up something Canadian and take a break from my Dansco 7070. But what to collect? Frankly, early Canadian coins are a bit boring, and the Maple Leaf through Voyageur Dollar series is a bit played out. However, early Canadian tokens provide a lot of variety of designs, and I can incorporate large cents from Canada, PEI, NB and NS. I bought this Nova Scotia Halfpenny (I think I'll stick with halfpennies as they're similar in size to the cents, and I could expand such a collection to US cents, hard times tokens, or UK halfpennies and conders. ICCS graded this at XF45. Woo, OK. I'll take it. A nice glossy espresso bean patina, and lovely details. [img]http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/coins/nshapenny.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
