I don't dabble in these per se, but I thought for $10, why not? A beautiful design!

    Very lovely!
    I like it very much. Is that the true color or is it just the photo?

    I only have a few from Nova Scotia and none are like tone.

    as far as the color goes, i dunno. These are the seller's pics, and i'm not risking much so i figured i'd chance it.

    Bet you will find it will be a great chocalate brown. Not dark dark but brown. The ones I have and they look great.

    For $10 I think you did great!

    I agree. Maritime bronzes in general are very cool. I like the designs for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI.

    Here is my one and only example:

    Nice pickup! 1861 Nova Scotia large cent, large bud variety, EF condition, value = C$22

    The large bud variety refers to the rose bud next to the A of SCOTIA.

    It could use a bath in EVOO and a very gentle cotton swab massage to remove the "critters" around the legend.

    thanks for info Gene! Yeah, i think i'll do a bid of bathing and swabbing to remove the grunge.

    Wow Fritz, those are some amazing examples. I love that 1/2 cent.

    Anyone have a nice PEI cent to show off? I'm still looking for a nice one. Preferably from 1871. image
