This time, I purchased only a few of the better Canadian coins. Included in this batch is the low mintage 1885 Newfoundland 10 cent coin which I posted earlier. This has a mintage of only 8,000 coins and I officially own it now . I also bought his 1858 Canada 20 cent coin and a nice 1935 Canada dollar. The 20 cent coin is a one-year type coin from Canada. In the 19th Century Canadian money was basically in sync with the USA money. It traded 1:1 with American money especially near the border. In 1858, the USA quarter dollar denomination was popular. Therefore, Canada elected to continue using a quarter dollar and discontinued the use of their 20-cent piece after only one year. The old time collection also has an 1895 or 98 Canada cent which looked to be MS and red-brown. I hope to purchase this lusterous cent next time. Thanks for letting me share. Very best regards, collect89 Attached Thumbnails       __________________ "All of us are smarter than any one of us"   07-08-2009, 04:18 PM   #2 (permalink) Drew8048 Member     Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 50 My Mood: Truly wonderful coins.

It looks like it was taken directly out of Great-Grandma's coin jar.

I am trying to convince the guy to scan all of them & begin selling them globally but he is dragging his feet. In the mean time, I will just continue visiting & buying the nice ones. Lucky me. __________________ "All of us are smarter than any one of us"   07-09-2009, 01:52 PM   #7 (permalink) (v) Senior Member   Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 205 The 20 cents is awesome and the dollar is not too shabby either!   07-09-2009, 02:14 PM   #8 (permalink) De Orc P & R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London.
