1823 Nova Scotia Half Penny Token

[testing123]

Got out to a field today that's produced some older coins and also two Canadian coppers previously. After nearly two hours barely a thing showed up. Then out popped the tombac with the ugly design! About 15 minutes later the copper disc appeared. Couldn't recognize it right off so I assumed it was Canadian. Turns out to be an 1823 Nova Scotia Half Penny Token. Surprised how many Canadian coppers have came out of here.

HH all!

We get a lot of american and other coinage here as well, in those days they pretty much carried what they had and a coin was a coin, you took what you could get I imagine! Nice find!

I LIKE the design on your button!
I wonder why they usually have 3 sets of lines
Nice score on the NS copper, I'm pretty sure I got one a while back, but I recall it having a ship on the reverse
Great Digs there, Congrats
