Description

3238 Canada: Thomas Church Token: Gatineau Point, L. Laurin, Est.d 1892, General Merchant // No Labor No Bread (Farmer Beating Wheat). Copper, 29mm, authenticated and graded by NGC as MS62 BN (Mint State 62 Brown), a strong detailed strike, only 26 struck per Schenkman “A Survey Of American Tokens”, page 299.
The best reference for Thomas Church was published in the Canadian Numismatic Journal, 1959, Vol,4, # 9, pages 353-360. Around 1875, Church began collecting coins and experimenting with cutting dies. By the 1880's he built a forge and minting facility in Ottawa. He made coins for himself early on but eventually made tokens for various business firms. All tokens should be considered scarce and very collectible!

IMPORTANT -- PLEASE NOTE!:
eBay many be open 24/7 but my business is not. I keep a long but normal work week when I am home plus I travel often to national and international trade shows so there is sometimes a short delay in invoicing and delivery. eBay has been in business successfully for 30+ years; I have been in business successfully for 45+ years so bid with confidence.
