Some one with CUIDAD and some one with CIUDAD. There is a mistake but could you tell me which one is more rarer ? THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagerap Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm not entirely certain, but I believe that another factor is the edge . Some are milled /////// (and I may have the direction wrong) and some are reeded IIIIIIIII. I've seen instances of both, and I'm still none the wiser.

mio49 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 You are hard with my poor english school. Je me démerde beaucoup mieux en français (normal I am french), mais voilà j’ai la passion des tokens d’origine anglaise ….. to have news about coins i am looking for in internet and my « bible » is a old book COINS AND TOKENS relating to CANADA, by P. N. BRETON, http://www.archive.org/details/cihm_00242 look page 209 and you will seen this Canadian token with WELLINGTON … BRETON say that this token is not usual, but how ???

bagerap Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Je vous remercie beaucoup. J'ai cherché un exemplaire de ce livre depuis longtemps.Et pour le trouver gratuitement, fantastique Mais,quant à cette pièce il ya non seulement des différences dans l'orthographe, mais aussi dans la bordure.

ccg Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I would think that these should be listed in at least one catalogue of English tokens, with some indication of rarity. (Poor French translation follows) Je pense peu etre il y a un livre ancien du jetons d'Angleterre avec le reseignments de la raritie des cette pieces.

bagerap Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 The one book I really want is The Wellington tokens relating to Canada by Eugene Gaspard Courteau.This was published around 100 years ago and must be out of copyright but I'm unable to find a reasonably priced copy or PDF.

According to the UBC library (who had a copy, not sure if they still do since "copies available" shows "0"), it's a 10 page pamplet published by the American Numismatic Society in 1915. I'll see if it's there on my next visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagerap Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Unfortunately the UBC cupboard is bare. I tried two summers ago whilst on holiday in Port Alberni. They were very helpful, but they had nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
