Tokens used in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Upper (East) and Lower (West) Canada are described in detail, including composition, weight, diameter, die axis, edge, and date of issue. All tokens are cross-referenced with other established numbering systems such as Breton, Courteau, Lees, Wood and Willey. A legend index allows collectors to easily identify even the most obscure token... With over two hundred pages filled with information and illustrations of this unique Canadian collectable, THE CHARLTON STANDARD CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN COLONIAL TOKENS is a publication no numismatic enthusiast should be without."

Albany:: The University of the State of New York, 1951 A solid copy -- square and reasonably tight. Bound in the original blue cloth, lettered in gold on the spine. Laid-in are two typed letters signed by the compiler, Milton W. Hamilton, to George H. Crosbie, editor of THE AUTOGRAPH COLLECTOR'S JOURNAL. Both discuss an article that Hamilton was writing about a Sir William Johnson letter. The article was scheduled to be published in the April 1952 issue of Crosbie's magazine. Sir William Johnson (1715-1774) was the superintendent of Indian affairs for British America. See DAB, Vol V, pp. 124-128. This volume of Johnson's papers covers the period September 1758 through December 1763, including the campaigns and diplomacy of the French and Indian War, Pontiac's conspiracy, settlement of the peace, Johnson's wise policies and importance in placating and controlling the Indian tribes, especially the Six Nations of Iroquois. It parallels Volume III and a part of Volume IV of the Johnson Papers, supplementing and filling out the picture of those years. Illustrated with 12 plates. This volume is also of interest to numismatists for its information on the rare Montreal Medals -- awarded in the late Spring and Summer, 1761 by Johnson to 182 Native Americans who remained loyal to him and to the British army throughout the Montreal campaign of 1760.
