I know this discussion took place some time ago but I noticed it with interest and may be able to add some information. The Franco American Jetons were struck over a period of years at the end of the reign of Louise 15th. there were stuck for the years of 1751 to 1757. they were popular at the time ...

will be in touch and get some pictures to you when i am home. cheers.

Hello again my friend. I see you are working on the BUC material still. If you are interested in errors in this series I may be able to help you. Last year when I sent you pictures of my C/S BUC I did not include any of the Errors that I have in my collection, and I did not send all the examples of ...

On rereading your post I believe you may be referring to Bank of Upper Canada tokens. If so I may be able to furnish you with a few other examples from my collection. let me know if this would be of interest to you. Personally I find the most difficult thing for me is understanding how to grade them...

I am sorry but I am not sure what you mean by colonial tokens in this context. do you mean all colonial tokens circulated in Canada or some subset of them. from my experience D & B counterstamps on Canadian token are plentiful. The American tokens are abundant in this group and the most difficul...

By the way, if we knew the owner of the LC-55 we might be able to persuade him or her to let us compare them directly as this would be a good basis for a research article. Safarijim

Sounds like we need to get together at some meeting and let you have a closer look at the Owen c/f. There is no way it is a electrotype of a true Owen as the images are just not correct. That said it could still be a spliced token from two haves, so I will have to send you a shot of the edge when I ...

I have to agree that it is the most likely option and the fact that the LC -55 is probably a concoction makes it all the more likely that he might have made the Owen's as well. When I have time, I will send a picture off to Chris Faulkner who I have had occasional discussions with and see if he has ...

thanks for your comments. Firstly I cannot comment on what Doug Robins may have thought as I purchased this after his death so I never had a chance to discuss it with him. Secondly I have concerns the sailing ship and it's likeness. It is hard to say from the picture in Charlton whether they are sim...

had a struggle but got them downsized. interested to see what you think of this example. I included the information about the sale it was purchased at. cheers JIM

I will try again with the images

after a bit of a wait I have the information you were looking for on the counterfeit Ropery token. it is 6.1 g in wt and 26 mm in diameter. itis very poor in likeness to the original but when it was sold as real it would have been hard for people to have had a likeness of a genuine token to refer to...

Hello again. First of all let me say how glad I am to have found your series of posts. I have found them most interesting and have really sparked my interest in a new direction or two. I had missed them as I had only looked at the English side in numicanada.com and that side pales by comparison to t...

Not that I am aware of. they are all catalogued by Courteau numbers and I have not looked at every one so I cannot say for sure but I have not seen any evidence of proofs of other special types. It is a useful collection for research and I will have to read your book to see your take on the series. ...
