1382 Erroneous Date Counterfeit BR 872, Courteau 280, CH NS-3B, the key piece among the Nova Scotia counterfeits and traditionally one of the classics in the Canadian token series. While its existence was known to collectors as early as 1875, by 1910 Courteau still only knew of two examples. There were only two in the sales of the massive W.W.C. Wilson Collection between 1925 and 1928. Over the years, many more examples have come to light, but it is still a rare token. The present specimen is a superior example in about EF with the usual weakness at certain points in the legends. Ex Frank Rose.


Note this lot is part of the Geoffrey Bell Collection.
