Newp from weekend

Harpua

Spent a rainy Sunday at the monthly coin show in Akron, Ohio with my son. We went mostly so he could go to his first show. He's 12, but just now starting to show some interest. He had a lot of fun and all the dealers were very nice and spent the time to talk with us even though we weren't going to be big buyers.

He picked up a few proof kennedy's which I don't have photos of as of yet.

I picked up a few items out of a junk token box that are pretty neat for an average of 50 cents each.

here's a well worn 1791 Angesey Mines token


Nice 1927 Canada token


1854 Bank of Upper Canada Token


Constellation token


No Labour No Bread token


Masonic Penny


Also picked up a gothic florin, not sure of the date (sorry no pics), but got it for a buck, less than the silver. As well as a few minor liteside items. All in all a good time and the best part of spending time with my son!

I like the USS Constellation token, and the "No Bread" piece, which I assume to be early 19th century Canadian, eh? I have seen the "Speed the Plough" tokens, but never one of that particular type. Nifty!

Harpua

They had another "speed the plough" one with something about "save the fisheries" or something along those lines....but it was pretty beat up so I passed it up....I'll have to see if it's still there next month.

I think I've seen the "fisheries" type. I like the one you got there, with the oxen on it.
