1844 Bank of montreal 1/2 penny tokens 1 1

[Crruisercharlie]

I have been collecting raw canadian bank of montreal 1/2 penny tokens for awhile and finally got my first ngc cert coin. I would like to certify my raw coins. Can anyone( you experts out there) tell me how to differentiate between the "tall trees" and the "wide trees" for the different varieties? TIA!

These are some of the varieties that I know of and there are others but have never heard of a "Wide Tree" variety.

PC-1B1  Tall trees, short nose beaver
PC-1B2  Tall trees, long nose beaver
PC-1B3  Heavy trees, short nose beaver
PC-1B4  Heavy trees, long nose beaver
PC-1B5  Small trees, short nose beaver
PC-1B6  Small trees, long nose beaver

I guess I was thinking wide trees and meant heavy trees.

When my son was about 5, I told him the person on the obverse of the Canadian nickel was the Queen, and on the other side was the Queen's..., well, you know. His mother was not amused.
