Lower Canada. BANK TOKEN ½ Penny 1837, Br-673 AU53 Brown NGC, LC-7, 7.25 gm. Very well done electrotype with unusual pattern edge decoration, somewhat like reeding.
The normal edge for Br-673 is plain; however, this piece has an unusual incuse edge decoration resembling reeding, but is a repeating design with non-parallel lines. This edge decoration could only have been added later. While we were initially suspicious this piece might be an electrotype, NGC has certified it genuine, conveying the guarantee that implies.
