Prince Edward Island, Canada, copper half penny "sheaf of wheat" token, 1840, Commerce & Trade, plain edge, very rare, ex-Baker. Breton-916; Courteau-3; PE-4. 5.50 grams. VF with crude and weak peripheries, several minor flaws, dark in color, but overall a decent example of this highly sought issue by James Milner of Charlottetown, who claimed that not many tokens were made before he scrapped the machinery. Pedigreed to the Warren Baker Collection of Canadian coins and tokens.
