I'm pleased to be able to kick off the month this month. The Panama Pill that I ordered turned up today. The "pill" is a 2½ cent coin and was called the pill because of its tiny size. It's only 10mm. For those of you that can't picture that. Here it is beside a US dime

Well I thought it was going to be a quiet November, but I didn't realise that most of the stuff I bought/swaps I'd organised in October would be turning up in November. I checked the mail this evening and found this waiting for me
Two swaps and 3 things I'd bought.
The parcel and one of the letters was some Australian and Fijian silver from my favourite seller
One of the swaps
The other swap
And the last letter was a NZ trade token. It's unfortunately been roughly cleaned on one side while the other is still nicely toned and untouched.

Not anything special but picked up over 70 Buffalo Nickles today at an estate sale. I'll have to see what I need and add the rest to my swaplist.

The one on the right was meant to be an upgrade
but there are enough differences to keep them both. The first one is a clipped planchet and is ↑↓ while the new one is ↑↑. There are also small differences in the design; compare for example the urn and cherubs (especially the legs).

Happy to know that Peter liked my previous post (the two Brock tokens). Here are a few more acquisitions from today:
I posted an "Oak Hall" token last month (additions for October). This one completes the pair since the deadline is Oct. 1899 (the other was Nov. 1899). I know, I know, I should have bought this one in October, and the other one in November, but that's not how it works in the real world.
Oak Hall were men's and boys' clothiers. See the article in the Canadian Numismatic Journal for October 2011 (starts on p. 470).
The two George V coins are not high grade, but I don't want to spend too much on the year by year decimal series, being more interested in colonial coinages.

Nice mix!
I received this yesterday:
Obviously these letter punches were made by someone skilled enough, but not a professional metal worker. For this reason there is a faint hope that C D is linked to the F D countermarks in Trinidad. There is no C D countermark listed in Brunk.

Well, the only holes i could fill in my collection were the 20 Rappen 1899 and 1/2 Franken 1931, but I did find the first coin myself. the second one was a gift from my mother for helping her out in the garden.
And of course tons of coins I already have, but some of them were in a great condition and are valuable.
Here are the finds:
20 Rappen 1899 (rare)
Those rolls are all uncirculated coins from 2014
And the rest of them:
Except for the silver coin, all those coins were found by me.

I picked up some nice New Zealand trade tokens this week.
one from my hometown of Dunedin, I hope to upgrade this one soon, but I couldn't resist getting it for the price
A nice halfpenny from Kirkcaldie and Stains
An even nicer penny from Kircaldie and Stains, apart from the discolouration it's probably around XF

These additions are not to be compared with the spectacular postings of the last few days... Still, if history is important to numismatics, then social history is as well, and we can learn much about "regular" people and local economic activities from such merchant tokens:
By far the most desirable of these is the Hudson's Bay Cº 5¢ token redeemable at their store in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
The three GOOD FOR TWO LOAVES tokens are interesting because they were holed or stamped over the word TWO after the purchase of one loaf. Axis of the stamped token: ↑→ ; of the two others: ↑↑ approximately. For more information, follow this link.
Most of these tokens, if I'm not mistaken, go back to the 1920s-1940s.

The first two are from the same purchase as those in the previous post. On the plastic milk token, N.W. = New Westminster, British Columbia.
The third one is a Wellington penny. It was meant for circulation in the UK, but many made their way to British North America.

I was going to hold out and save my money up to get a type I standing Liberty quarter in a very high grade, as befits this most beautiful of American coins. But on a whim I looked through my local coin shop's box of them and absolutely fell for this one. Graded F-12, with deep and even toning and a beautiful iridescent rainbow ring of album toning on the obverse. Maybe I'll upgrade some day, but I loved the color of this one so much that I jumped.

A couple more tokens came in today, 20 and 5 made beavers, aluminum:
They cannot be dated later than 1922 since in that year the Labrador District was merged with the St. Lawrence district to form the St. Lawrence Labrador District (for which tokens were also produced).
Again, like some of my previous posts, the interest of these tokens is not in their attractiveness but in their high historical value. In terms of currency unit, too, the "made beaver" is, I would dare to say, a rather unusual and interesting currency.
Fun fact: No African nation has ever issued "made beavers" coins or tokens.

Yes, thanks, I know - which is why I put reproduction below the images of
that and the other coin; the title was what the seller gave. I got them as a
temporary purchase until I can get a real one.

A few additions which have yet to come in:
1 ─ The famous Devins & Bolton countermark on an 1854 US large cent;
2 ─ My last missing one-a-year (no varieties) Canadian large cent (1891 large leaves, large date), though two or three could be upgraded; note the planchet flaw on the reverse;
3+4 ─ 1926 and 1927 small cents.

Citeer: "Camerinvs"Nice mix!Hi Camerinvs, I tend to read G D and not C D. Would that make a difference?
I received this yesterday:
Obviously these letter punches were made by someone skilled enough, but not a professional metal worker. For this reason there is a faint hope that C D is linked to the F D countermarks in Trinidad. There is no C D countermark listed in Brunk.

Thanks for your input, ArnoV.
At this point I am more interested in assessing the possibilities. The two letter punches were not created by a specialist, but he was someone who had some knowledge of (and the tools for) the art of blacksmithing. There is a faint possibility that some other specimens of the same stamp exist, and perhaps an even fainter possibility that the punch originated from Port of Spain, Trinidad, like the similar-looking F D punches from there. It would be quite a luck if the "D" punch was also known from one of the many variants of the "F D" punches, but I will need to get a copy of Lyall's Caribbean Tokens book and also compare with all examples I can find online (e.g. those offered at auctions) to know for sure.

On this last day of November I received these in two separate shipments:
The pictures do not do justice to the actual coins.
The 1891 1¢ completes my one-a-year Canadian large cents set. 1865 was the first year Newfoundland struck coins for circulation.
