The Cataloguers have taken every reasonable measure to ensure that all the lots are as described by Geoffrey Bell Auctions. Many of the lots are third party graded by PCGS, PMG, ICCS - We feel these are the most recognized grading companies in the industry.
BR 716 CH LC-4A2, Jean-Marie Arnault’s Rebellion Sou, upset reverse, reed edge, PCGS AU-58, although actually uncirculated in this cataloguer’s opinion with the usual flatness of some of the leaves having been mistaken for wear. This is one of Canada’s few genuinely political tokens. The Banque du Peuple supported the Patriotes in the 1837 Rebellion and must have sanctioned the appearance of both the republican star and the cap of liberty on the token’s reverse. Ex John Temple.


Note this lot is part of the Geoffrey Bell Collection.
