Ooh. I love the big one with the guy weaving on a loom. Never seen that before.

Your top right one is a Lower Canada/Quebec Bank Token halfpenny/sou that is listed in Krause. However, there are several varieties and your piece doesn't have enough detail for me to make out the differences. At any rate, the varieties of this one list from $2.00-3.50 in VG, and being a Fair or AG, that one is probably worth less than a dollar as-is.

The one on the left in the second row is likewise a Lower Canada/Quebec 1-sou token- its obverse is the design that gives some of these the nickname "Bouquet sous", I believe. However, I do not recognize the reverse with the eagle and anchor. It is very interesting, particularly as that eagle resembles the ones on early US Naval buttons of the period. I see something that says "BELLEVILLE" on the reverse? Obviously some merchant or organization's reverse die was paired with the common bouquet obverse. I love the die cracks on that one- nifty.

I have seen "Ships, Colonies, and Commerce" tokens with a ship similar to yours, but have not seen the exact varieties you posted.

Obviously, there must be a bewildering array of types and varieties in these. One of these days I will stop being a cheapskate and buy a reference book on them. (That, and the D&H conder token book, and the Seaby/Spink Irish/Scottish book, and something on Byzantine coins, and so on and so on...)

I would not expect these to be very valuable- most common tokens of the period are worth less than five bucks. However, if you have some scarcer varieties there, who knows? I'm afraid I can't help you there. I get the feeling somebody here can, though...

Top left: Conder token from England. Someone with a Dalton & Hamer catalog should be able to give better data.

Top right: 1837 Lower Canada 1/2d, Charlton LC8A or B (City Bank or Quebec Bank on ribbon), poor condition, value 25c junk box.

Middle left: T. Duseaman Butcher, Charlton LC45 (this one is also in the Redbook, struck in Belleville NJ), fine condition, $35C.

Middle right: Canada Half Penny / For Public Accommodation, Charlton LC14, fine condition but scratched, $8C

Bottom two: Francis Mullins & Son Montreal, Charlton LC17A1 copper, left piece is VF right is VF bent, $50C + $25C.

LC45 + the nicer LC17A1 should attract alot of attention should you decide to put them up on eBay.

The Conder looks like a Lancashire-Rochdale half penny token of 1792. The reverse is actually shown above with several obverses known. The "man in loom" motif appears in at least one other Conder type as well. Uncirculated examples are available for less than $100.

The first one is not a Conder token, but is likely a token from around 1811, the next great period in English history for token coinage. I have the same token, yours is better on the loom side but mine is somewhat better on the other side. I have not researched this token to determine its "story".

The token states: PAYABLE AT JACKSON & LISTERS WAREHOUSE BARNSLEY
