Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, copper half penny token, 1815, Miles W. White, medal axis, ex-Oppenheim, ex-Baker. Breton-890; Courteau-341; NS-13A1. 7.53 grams. Nice AU- with bluish toning around details, muted luster on fields, small marks on reverse, apparently an early strike but with flaw in edge and die-crack above HARDWARE, also with curious small I in center (below MILES) that could possibly indicate striking over an earlier type, a scarce token in any case but the commonest variety of axis, interesting as a full-weight private issue. McLachlan notes that “Hardware firms seem to have done the larger part of the business of supplying the country with copper coinage.” Pedigreed to the Warren Baker Collection of Canadian coins and tokens, and to the Michael Oppenheim Collection (9/2019).
