The year is now 2012, and I also have one of the Nova Scotia tokens. I would hardly describe it as "worthless" in as much as it does have weight and metal content. It should in it's own right also have some type of collector value. I personally will include it in my meeger selection of Canadian coins and currency. I am surprised to hear that it is a Shell Oil Token, but then it sure has hands and feet over other Shell Oil tokens that I have seen in the past which were at best small light weight aluminum pieces. It is hard to find a decent quality token this day and age .... and especially since most if not all of the gambling casinos have gone from nice collectible tokens to paper. Many years ago I was given as a gift a bag of peanuts and some small change. Humor of a friend of mine & my wife. The bag of peanuts was 50 pounds and the small change was every bit of mexican coins that he could locate ...... mostly at the local scrap yard. I have every bit of it and will always enjoy it ..... and if nothing else know that it will always be worth it's weight in metal content. Collecting is for the enjoyment as well as for potentual profit, at least for me.
