Post Your New Canadian Acquisitions

Just negotiated the purchase of this gem. Surface-wise, it is probably one of the finest graded at PCGS MS-66 Brown. I opted for a beautiful surface, rather than a bright red colour at a lesser grade.

In my opinion, it is Red-Brown (or Trace Red).

RB is what we both would call it.But Pcgs has a color scale pro's have go by. Pcgs is very picky on all copper coins. If non USA it seams that color Red is a harder grade to gets for Red or Red Brown.

1884 5 cent Canadian. Seems to be a key-semi key, which I was unaware of when I picked it up. My guess is about G-4 (the ear and some hair is showing).

Also can anyone tell if it is a near or far date?

 

Wow! A stunner

 

I think it is a far based on where the leaf is pointing on the 4.

 

found a few of these i will call them hanging 63

 

Had to run a bunch of errands on the way home from work & when I looked at my change when I got home, found this:



A 1918 Canada Ten Cent silver (0.925); finding an almost hundred year old coin in pocket change, even in AG, still puts a smile on my face......

 

i was given a 1962 dime over the weekend in change,,it has a die crack or dot ,not bad

 

Always nice to get some unexpected silver!

 

here one that a small grease or struck through giving me this image of a cat,baby cub,,i like this

 

and the acne is spreading

 

Ed is this 1970?? or what is the date of this one?I have unc 1970 with same strike thru or grease marks on it.

 

jello its a 2013

 

that would be very interesting since our cents stopped in 2012.

That portrait of the Queen was used 1990, 1991, 1993-2001, & 2003.

 

sorry jello it is 2012 the one with gas bubbles is 1999

 

not sure what to call this one but it looks cool

 

Ed" We all have brain farts".
At times I have them daily on my bad days a lot more!!!!

 

RB, very very nice coin. I cannot wait to get more into Canadian coinage. It seems that there some light at the end of the tunnel and might be in Canada in few months time.

 

Picked up another 50 for my set, a 1919 Canada 50 Cent

 

this one seems odd maybe flawed planchet not sure i have it for a while
