I would guess the grade as VF-20 to VF-30, but that green patina may give your coin a details grade. So the Krause value for VF-20 would be $12, so you might be able to sell for around $6 to a dealer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A little fun story about this Token, My grand Father lived up in the Watertown NY area. Just outside Kingston Ontario Canada, And when we were little kids 1960's he gave us a Old large tube type radio. One of the ones that was shaped kinda like an old jukebox. We used to see how many french stations and such we could find at night. So at some point it stopped working and we had a repair man, Family member come he opened it up to see if there was a tube blown that needed replacing and that there token was in the bottom of the case!! THANKS JON
The Bank of Upper Canada token is part of a series of Canadian tokens sometimes referred to as Breton Tokens (I think he was the person who first catalogued them). Many are common and relatively inexpensive, including many of the Bank of Upper Canada issues. I put together a nice collection in the 80s and 90s by finding them in "junque boxes" at shows. Charleton published an inexpensive book that attributes them. If you like history, it's a very interesting area to collect. I especially like the Brock tokens which are related the War of 1812.
Looks like a Large 2 PC-6B. If it has a medal obv/rev orientation, it is from the Royal Mint and is PC-6B3. If it has a coin orientation, it's a PC-6B5. Both are common issues
If I understand what you are saying when you flip the coin within your fingers it has the same orientation as today's coins. BTW do you have any pics of what a proof one would look like I would be very interested in seeing what a 1800's proof coin looked like? Thanks JON
