KoRnholio Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I don't think I've ever seen one before, but perhaps VG+/F? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marv Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Do these coins appear in any price guide? Judging by the way that wear has obliterated the boundaries between the hair over the eye and the face as well as obliterating the boundaries between the reverse border and the main field of the coin in many places, I would say "good" at best. This coin has seen much use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coin has seen much use. I don't know much about tokens, but I imagine the pre-1858 tokens did see a lot of circulation. After 1858 decimal coins for Canada were being minted, which would have helped a lot. It's definitely been worn down quite a bit, and I have no idea what this issue looks like mint or how it wears, but I'd say it's better than good as there's still some hairs visible above the ear.

ccg Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm thinking VG or F, but weakly struck rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyMosher Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I believe mine is in better shape than this one http://cgi.ebay.ca/1840-NS-1-2-PENNY-TOKEN...=item335f78a44d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I believe mine is in better shape than this one http://cgi.ebay.ca/1840-NS-1-2-PENNY-TOKEN...=item335f78a44d I'd say just a hair (pun intended ) worse. There's a little bit more detail on the bun, hairline at the top of her head, and the band behind the ear. On the reverse it's a lot more clear, there's a lot more detail on that thistle than on yours. Based on that being VF20, I'd say yours is F15, maybe just F12 since the reverse has quite a bit more wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
