New Brunswick Proof Penny BR 909 (1843 Penny), CH NB-2A, Courteau 25, deep chocolate Proof. As far as Courteau was concerned in his “The Coins and Tokens of New Brunswick” (1922), his no. 25 among the 1843 pennies only came as a Proof and at the time he wrote he only knew of two examples. In other words, for anyone who collects these tokens by variety, Courteau 25 must be acquired as a Proof. There are certainly more than two examples known today, but Proofs are still rare and extremely desirable. Ex Don Flick.
