I have two 1852 Bank of Upper Canada Half-Penny Tokens.
One is like a normal Canadian coin, the other is like a U.S coin, you have to flip it head over heels to keep the reverse upright.
I also have a 1857 Bank of Upper Canada Half-Penny Token that's like a U.S coin, you have to flip it head over heels to keep the reverse upright.
Did the mint care about reverse position on these or do I have 2 rotated die errors?
Are they common or do they add a buck or two to the price?
Thanks,
Glenn

    Many of the Canadian Colonial tokens are known in both medal and coinage alignments. There is usually no premium for either.

    Tokens are often more variable in their alignment than coins or medals.
