Token Canada To Facilitate Trade 1825

Hi Patrick -- Trade happens. When a government does not supply coinage so that trade can happen, someone or something steps in to fill the void. Back in 1825, Canada was a British Colony and Great Britain issued these tokens 'to facilitate trade.'

Most of these old tokens are pretty well worn, like the one in our picture. In such a worn state, the approximate retail value is $10 US dollars or so. If the token in well preserved, you can multiply that value by 10. Condition means a lot to collectors.

Selling your token to a coin dealer will generally yield about one half of the retail value. The other have is dealer margin, which he or she needs to keep the dealership solvent.
