Sounds like it Jeff. I think it is Morton&Eden Novemeber 2002. I have
the catalogue in front of me. There is a color page and the coins are
pretty amazing and original. There is a pristine Myddelton/Upper
Canada token. However, I think the Lord St. Baltimores came from a
separate find and were in VF/EF grade with some very light cleaning.
Be curious to hear if any body went.
