THIS nickel - while it looks fairly new (I have a few other canadian coins) has no date stamped on it anywhere... Can someone tell me if this is an oddity, a rarity or something truly special? Thanks ahead of time... oh and if it does turn out to be worth something I'll give you forum folks first crack at oit in return for the help. Thanks. -sangre   01-15-2005, 10:00 PM   #2 (permalink) ccgnum Senior Member   Join Date: Oct 2004 Posts: 197 A 2002 QE's Golden Jubliee issue. Look under the Queen's head for the date.   01-15-2005, 10:40 PM   #3 (permalink) Aidan Work Numismatist   Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Wellington,New Zealand. Posts: 6,467 There are actually 2 dates on the Golden Jubilee commemorative coins - 1952-2002.I have got a 10c. & a 25c. from Canada bearing these dates. They also have the letter 'P' below the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.This is not a mintmark,but it indicates that the coin is plated.   01-16-2005, 12:35 AM   #4 (permalink) crystalk64 Knight of the Coin Table   Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 523 My Mood: Aidan I must agree with what you have said but collectors in Canada and the U.S. refer to the P as a mint mark and the Canadian guide books do the same!   01-16-2005, 12:42 AM   #5 (permalink) Aidan Work Numismatist   Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Wellington,New Zealand. Posts: 6,467 I don't think that Charlton list the 'P' as a mintmark though.   01-16-2005, 12:55 AM   #6 (permalink) nds76 Senior Member     Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Northern Michigan Posts: 414 See this thread: http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=3972 David   01-16-2005, 11:08 PM   #7 (permalink) Aidan Work Numismatist   Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Wellington,New Zealand. Posts: 6,467 I have got 2 2001 5c. coins from Canada.One has the 'P' below the head,whereas,the earlier one doesn't.The 'P' one appears shiny like the steel Fijian 5c.,10c.,20c.,& 50c. coins that have been struck since 1990,so therefore,the 'P' indicates the plated coin.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Tags canada, canada mint, canadian coins Would you like to support CoinTalk?
