Not a Canadian Collector but I immediately like this 1837 Harmony Half Penny.

    Careful, these can be addictive!

    And they are much more affordable than the US counterparts! I have started sets myself!

    My type/variety group, most or all of these are different, winnowed down from a large hoard I acquired from a retired New Hampshire dealer many years ago. Most of the duplicates went to forum members.
    Besides the New Hampshire dealer, I also bought some of the imitation Tiffin tokens from a dealer who got them from a hoard discovered in an attic of a house in Connecticut about 15 years ago. And Canadian tokens would show up in estate sale auctions in northern Ohio prior to 2000; I have to think these things were used in commerce in the US back in the day
