Got to hunt some yesterday and came away with a couple decent finds. One token is toasted pretty good, the other is only a 1981 Rodeo token. A couple silver quarters and a 68 dime, 50% Silver
Neat little car, made in France
Ring is a cheapo, PEI ring
and of course, my practice digging finds...
Sort of a cool coincidence that I found the 1857 Prince Edward Island token while spending a few days here.
Bit of History on the PEI token...
Canada Price Edward Island Token 1855 to 1857
Before its Confederation in 1867, the nation of Canada was a loose collection of individual European colonies. Apparently, a decade before the Confederation, residents of Prince Edward Island pushed for independent national status. This token was part of that campaign. Ultimately, PEI joined the Confederation in 1873.
Thanks for looking !!
