Brass. Unc. (300 issued). Louis Laurin was in the insurance business, and sold insurance to Doug Ferguson in the early 1930s. He was a collector and had what may have been the best collection of Canadian communion tokens. He was also a bookseller, issuing catalogues offering Canadiana and Americana in the mid to late 1920s, and the inside of the front covers advertised his collection of communion tokens which was for sale at $1000. He was a member of the A.N.A. early on, but dropped out before 1913.

Note: this lot is part of The Richard Cooper Collection.
