<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1781363, member: 29751&quot;]An interesting little Canadian token.&nbsp; As best I can tell, this &quot;ferry token&quot; was never actually used as such.&nbsp; The first mention of this token numismatically that I can hunt down was in <i>The Canadian Antiquarian and Numismatic Journal</i> in 1877.&nbsp; At one time it was thought to be quite scarce, but upon the discovery of a hoard sometime in the late 1890s, is now considered more available, with most pieces in AU or MS condition.&nbsp; I found the presentation of a &quot;steamboat&quot; with sails to be quite curious, but I am by no means a sea navigation expert.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Date of production<i> circa 1850-1875</i>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-3/1850_Halifax_FerryToken_NGC_MS64RB_composite_zps592db164.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
