I had a really great afternoon. Went to a new house that I just got the OK on. 1892 home on about 1 1/2 acres of mowed lawn. Houses on both side and back date to mid or early 1800, so there is a lot of history here to work with. Found a really nice 1817 Large cent, an, as of yet, unidentified colonial copper (it is british but not a half penny), an 1838 Canadian bank token, a great token F.P. & CO. Dining room 5, a buffalo, three mercs. a bunch of one piece buttons, part of a bracelet a butterfly pin and a maple leaf watch fob. The great thing is I only covered about 15% of this property. Can't wait to get back there....Lance

Hey Jeremiah, Unfortunately it is not the open wreath variety. Worth $5.00 instead of $150.00. Cool coin though. I have found a number of Canadian Tokens, but this is the first of this variety. Thanks for the input...Lance

Here's an update on the colonial copper I found today. The reverse has the shield of North Wales on it. The bust on the front faces right, so it is probably King George III. That is about as much as I am going to get from this one...Lance
