<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1092155, member: 22729&quot;]This is listed in Rulau stuff, and is designated as La 28 / 29 (two varieties). The 28 is in copper and the 29 is silvered-copper, but otherwise the styles are the same. In Unc. like yours appear to be, he lists a value of $80 - $100. Keep in mind this reference is from 2004, so the values have likely gone higher since then.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>David Gowans started his business in 1842, but didn&#039;t become D. Gowans &amp; Co. until 1849 at 97 Canal St. In 1853 he moved to 143 Canal. About this time he took in a partner named Robert Morrison and started importing sauces, sardines, ale and other things from England. These tokens were struck by Thomas Pope of Birmingham, England. Really nice token stuff. May I ask what you paid for it? Congratulations on the pick-up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
