<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1785534, member: 29751&quot;]I agree with others.&nbsp; A single &quot;favorite&quot; is next to impossible.&nbsp; But, I will post one of my many favorites.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These Bank of Upper Canada pieces were minted in 1850, 1852, 1854, and 1857 in both half penny and penny denominations.&nbsp; While quite common in circulated condition (XF and below), they are more difficult to find in AU, and downright hard to find in true MS condition.&nbsp; This beauty came into my possession earlier this year, and when I received it in hand it had some great blue tones that were not clear from the auction pictures.&nbsp; The obverse is a rendition of the beautiful and well known Benedetto Pistrucci design of St. George slaying the dragon.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>1857 Upper Canada Half Penny, NGC MS63BN</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-3/1857_UpperCanada_HalfPennyToken_NGC_MS63BN_obv_zpsbaf9d8b9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></p><p><b><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-3/1857_UpperCanada_HalfPennyToken_NGC_MS63BN_rev_zps626ef79d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
