Coins from the Early Americas

Blacksmith Tokens

I have many different Coins from Early North and South America available for leasing to Movie and Television Production Companies.

Blacksmith Tokens were made in both Canada and the United States in the 1800's. They were made to fake British Halfpennies from the 1700's that were still circulating and were now worn out. They are called "Blacksmith Tokens" because of a blacksmith in Montreal who made so many of them.
