Got An Early 1800's Colonial Token This Afternoon!
Been a busy day....Had brunch with my Wifey, then loaded up the AT Pro and headed out coin shooting. I hit 3 different locations, and was rewarded with lots of coins, including those one and two dollar coins. My biggest surprise was finding an early Colonial Token.
Here's the colonial token cleaned up a bit. From the literature I have at home, it's a Lower Canadian Colonial Token, dating to the early 1800's, which is a significant find for Edmonton. I will have to further research it to find out exactly what I got.
