NUMISMATIC NUGGETS: OCTOBER 24, 2021Here's a selection of interesting or unusual items I came across in the marketplace this week. Tell us what you think of some of these. -Editor 
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: AE halfpenny token, ND (1858), Ch-PE-8A2, Breton-921, Steamship sailing left, Fisheries & Agriculture type, thin flan variety, EF to About Unc. The last token of Prince Edward Island was issued about 1858. Probably issued by James Duncan & Co., a hardware merchant in Charlottetown. It seems that after 1858 Prince Edward Island was amply supplied with copper for there were no more halfpenny issues. The official adoption of the decimal system in 1871 rendered these tokens obsolete. A nice token from the Stephen Alpert Internet 12 sale. Great detail on the ship. -Editor
