    I am doing a date run of toned caribou quarters and 50 cents pieces 1937-1967 for both.

    @spirityoda1 if you are asking about the toned 1967 Canada Goose dollar ex: moi, I had something like $450 in it and the hammer price at Heritage was about $1200 before juice (and I got part of that as a contractor for them at the time). You could find it in their archives with minimal digging.

    Kind regards,

    George

    Nice. That toned Goose is amazing. You do not see them that nice. That's probably why you had a bidding war.

    Nice catch. I remember when we first started discussing and finding them 10-15 years ago.

    @YQQ said:
    1858 1 cent. relatively scarce.

    Yes it sure is. And yours is a beauty!

    I acquired a very large retired part-time dealer's estate back around 2004. He was originally from New Hampshire, and apparently Canadian coinage was abundant and popular up there, at least once upon a time.
    Anyway, in various albums, binders, boxes, etc, there were conservatively 400 Canadian large cents present. In all that lot, there was only one 1858, versus dozens of 1859 and other early years.

    It looks like it's been awhile since any trade tokens have been posted.
    These have fascinated me for many years. I first ran across them popping up in small old time estate auctions in northern Ohio ~35 years ago. I'm assuming that they circulated in the US, along with other foreign coinage, and were later held onto as curiosities. These were generally the more commonly seen Bank of Upper Canada and Habitant-type tokens.

    For this post I wanted to share some of the earlier, and perhaps lesser known issues:


    The Sir Isaac Brock token, issued to honor his military victories, is especially interesting as this version has his name spelled 'Brook'.....
    The two imitation 'Tiffin' tokens are part of a group I purchased from an EAC dealer/friend who acquired a small hoard of these, discovered in the attic of an old home up in Connecticut about 10 years ago. I don't know more details about this hoard, but the ones I saw looked virtually new, but poorly struck, and with some verdigris likely due to the poor storage conditions.

    @ZoidMeister, I believe you might be able to write up a paper about the political, artistic and social mores of the producing region and discovery region of your piece. The scientific publications might be more receptive to this important find if you give it first an appropriate name such as superbas brunneis stercore.

    Good luck!
