Bank of Upper Canada, one halfpenny 1852.

 

Province of Nova Scotia, one penny 1840, portrait of the Victoria the Queen.

 

That is all.

 

SM, Anyway of brightening up the pictrues? I know if they are dark coins it is hard, but I can't see a thing? Sorry.

 

Nice, thanks for sharing, your Nova Scotia token looks like an E2 variety. Medium "O"
$30ish?

 

And your Upper Canada One cent token is a Large 2. Is your coin upright on both sides? Or is one side flipped upside down?

 

I bought this coin for 28$.

 

One side flipped upside down (on 180 degrees).

 

Very nice tokens.

 

I have one like your but mine is an 1852 and I have a larger one that's an 1857. I'll put them up later. This is the last one I got from Canada on ebay for $20 and change. One of my favs. It was listed as a Breton but I don't really know, I just liked it.

 

Cool! I never saw it before.

 

Very nice tokens guys.

I only have one from Newfoundland, an 1846 Rutherford token...

 

Well, the pics aren't that good as usual but I got em both. One's a penny and the other is a half penny, both Canadian and very old. The bigger one is in better condition and my guess is the most rare of the two, if there is such a thing with these common tokens from Canada. I paid around $12 for the one penny one and it was mailed to me from England, that was different. Someday I will take my time and get pics of everything. :high5:

Oh that Rutherford up there is super cool!! :thumb:

 

Cool, that means it was minted in Heaton, as opposed to the RCM.

One of my favorites Hiho, is it a medal or coinage axis?

 

I believe it's medal axis, but I am not 100% sure. It's currently at NGC, when I get it back I can tell you with a bit more confidence.

My boss and I split an eBay (UK) lot of coins and tokens found in a secret comparment of an old desk by a London antiques dealer. Part of the lot was an 1846 Rutherford with the best looking sheep I have ever seen, absolutely no wear at all. I wish I had taken photos of it, it really knocked my socks off.

This was also in the desk...




and this...




Yes, I am half Irish! :whistle:

 

A couple of coins, that I bought yesterday.
1. Un sou / half penny 1837, copper, mintage - 240000. Quebec.
2. Half penny 1832, copper, mintage - 800000. Nowa Scotia. William IV the King.

 

Upper Canada.
One penny 1850, copper. Mintage - 750000.

 

I am pretty sure the RCM did not mint a token in 1852.... as it opened in 1908.
Nice tokens all!

 

Beautiful.... I really fancy this one.

hiho, the Charles II, and the 1846 Newfoundland.... amazing.... The Cork Victoria one is also gorgeous... Lucky man.
