Circus Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 An interesting Canadian Confederation from OntarioThis side is interesting from the materials listed that it made of. I'm sure the precious metals are just a hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 That Ontario medal has quite a message. I've never seen one even similar before. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 It does sound like a government issued medal by the politico's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Color is off due to lighting for some reason true color is the following of the obverseAnd when they combined with another store in town.It was a nice find to get four in one bulk buy.

Circus Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 That is neat. Notice the values escalated pretty nicely too. It is a first for me, getting assorted values from the same place in one buy they are one of a number of nice surprizes. I asked the guy at the LCS if it was made up bag or as is he said as is.

Art1.2 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Nice. I like the LA Transportation token too. Some people make specialty collections of Transportation Tokens. I know there was a nice website all about collecting them but I can no longer find the link for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 This is an interesting one it appears to be some kind of copy, it does look and feel of silver, But I will have to find my test kit to find out Don't know what it is supposed to be.This one appears to be the encasement ring, as a penny fits but loosely. It looks that the penny was pushed out. Nice. I like the LA Transportation token too. Some people make specialty collections of Transportation Tokens. I know there was a nice website all about collecting them but I can no longer find the link for it. I will have to look thru my bookmarks as I think I have that one too.

Art1.2 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 More nice stuff. The first looks like someone's attempt at home manufacturing a token. I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 That's what I thought or making a copy of some coin fanstay or other wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Nice tokens. I especially like the "Hemlock Cafe". For some reason the name does not attract me to eat there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Nice tokens. I especially like the "Hemlock Cafe". For some reason the name does not attract me to eat there. There is a Hemlock Michigan, and I understand I thought the same thing. But attributing them is a winter time unpleasent weather activity!.
