Big Canadian Penny

[Brentallica]

Couldn't sniff out any Silver this time but did manage to find my 2nd Canadian LC (1916) this year. Also pulled a few Wheaties (1918, 40, 44) and a few relics. Definitely need some rain to soften up things! HH

Sweet LC! What is that 1921 token? love the lock.

good finds bro!....I'm jealous of that Canadian LC, have never found one of those. Great recoveries, is that a locket that would open? I have some of those antique car tokens, is that like a sunoco token? Anyway, congrats on a good hunt and some nice keepers!

The token is for a Dusenberg Straight 8 car; a similar token (on the 'heads' side only) appears here:

The Franklin Mint Aluminum Coins. These were given away by Sunoco in 1969 as a gas promotion. The Sunoco emblem is within the small diamond design at the top border on the 'reverse'.

Thanks bro! Yeah, the locket does open but there was nothing inside.

Great finds there B! Like the old locket and lock, and the old Canadian cent, I love those old foreign coins. Gotta give ya credit for getting out in this heat. D

Love those Can LC's. The leaf and vine design is cool. Nice digs!
