Strange token, and a first, VIDEO added

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

This was found yesterday, but less than 24 hours ago. Warm weather holding nicely.

First I've found like this, and the first I've broke getting it out. I do think it was cracked, as there is another slight crack as well. The vid clip is quite funny.

Anyway there are a few canadian tokens with "houses" on them, but unless I missed it there is no exact match. This one looks like it has a widows' walk on the roof, and a "guy" on the left side of the building. The building is closer to the edge than on the Bonk of Montreal tokens, plus the widows walk is there. I see nothing on the other side of help, bretty blank, and is about 27 MM in diameter.

Anyone seen this one before ? IP will know

Re: Strange token, and a first

It "could" be oriental Jeff owing to the cracks, pointing to it being probably cast. Although no square hole. The area you pointed to I thought was just window dividers, are pretty much perfect squares.

Should have thrown it.

Yep, Im thinking you're right now.

That's twice in the last week or two you beat me to the punch on a condor.

I don't think they know the rule... when you don't recognize a halfpenny size copper first think condor!

Well the building sure looks good to me. I'm going to take some water paper to the other side see if I can get a letter or two off it.

Hope you are right, (as opposed to the alternative)
