... oh how sweet it is!

Bank of Montreal Front View Half Penny Token 1844
Charlton catalogue variety PC1B1, short nose beaver, tall trees reverse
Now residing in a PCGS MS64BN holder, this piece shimmers and when tilted just so the darker areas turn blue!

    Thanks for all the comments guys.

    Aethelred - I wasn't sure if they would either. But since they graded the St George & The Dragon tokens, I figured why not.

    BTW - purchased it at the Mansfield Numismatic Society Show (better known as the Willimantic or Windham, CT show) in March 2004 for less than $100.
