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.

Grading Standards and Description: 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, BCS, PMG, Legacy, ICCS, NGC, CCCS - We feel these are the most recognized grading companies in the industry.
Return Policies: Returns will be accepted by absentee bidders for lots that have been misattributed or incorrectly catalogued. We guarantee that all items are genuine and we will refund anything that has been misrepresented by the cataloguers. Certified grading concerns are to be dealt with through the certified grading company, not Geoffrey Bell Auctions. No returns will be accepted on graded material. All floor sales are final, including those who choose to use our agent. Absolutely no returns will be accepted after 45 days as consignors are then paid in full. In the event the auctioneer elects to void a sale this does not relieve the bidder from their obligation to pay auction fees (sellers and buyers premium).
