What is this worth? (canada bank token)

clarkbar04

Can buy this, don't know what the value is though:

Sapyx

Upper Canada ½ penny 1850, listed in Krause (4th ed. 2004) at $6.50 in VF, $135 in Unc. In between, your guess is as good as mine - it's not denoted.

Anyone got a 5th edition? Has this been fixed?

Ohh, I thought it was a token and wouldn't be listed.

Coin Mintage VG FINE VF XF UNC BU
1850 1,500,000 2.50 4.00 6.50 13.50 135.00

The seller is asking much more than this for it, so I'll probably pass.

It really doesn't matter what the seller wants on this token - it's fugly!

This is a common token that can be had in much better condition for not much money - they appear on eBay with some frequency.

Farthing is right! That piece is fugly! Here's one that I have that cost me less the $100 (including the slab fee):

Beautiful tokens (or they can be!) with lots of varities.

Gene, that's an exceptional example. I love the reverse.
