Post Your New Canadian Acquisitions

Picked this one up at Nuphilex (Montreal Coin & Stamp Show) this weekend. So very hard to find one in the original red colour, as most that stayed in the original white cardboard holders issued from the Royal Canadian Mint, toned to a wine red to brown colour.

This is one of the nicer examples I have seen of a 1954 No Shoulder Fold proof-like coin, PCGS PL-67 Red. Much brighter in hand, than the PCGS Shield photos.

here is a new one i found small to medium and large beads

 

I received this 1924 Canadian Penny today in my change while buying some ASE's at my local bullion shop.

 

this never happens to me the only one was a 1936 no dot and this was 4 years ago,,great find

 

1941 C Newfoundland One Cent, mintage of 872,662;
Picked this one up in the fall (liked the toning) & finally got around to taking a photo of. It appears to be a variety that I hadn't realized.

Once I saw the photo, I believe it is actually a high 1 variety (the last 1 is slighty higher than the base of the first 1 & the 4 and the right side of the last 1 points to just a bit to the left of the right side of the L in Newfoundland).

 

Nice 1941 high 1 JJ!!!!

 

One more for the provincial set, a 1861 Nova Scotia One Cent (Large Rosebud Variety- as indicated by the bud to the right of the A in Scotia)

 

jjOO => sweet Nova Scotia pick-up (congrats)

 

This is not my personal NEWP. I did recently discover it in a collection that hadn't been seen since about 1960.
I believe that these tokens from Upper Canada were eventually monetized by the Canadian government so they were legal tender in the country. This example exhibits some areas on the reverse where the details are completely missing. This was probably caused by grease or other debris between the die & planchet when the coin was struck.

 

My new favourite Canadian coin. I just got it back from PCGS, graded MS-65...

It is a 1978 1-cent, struck on a 1977 5-cent. The collar was not there, obviously some shenanigans at the Royal Canadian Mint in 1978...





This is the third double denomination, double strike coin that I have (I also have a 1977 25c struck on a 1975 5-cent, and a 1947 5-cent, struck on a 1-cent planchet, then overstruck by a 1947 1-cent dies).

Another paper in Errorscope will be forthcoming...

 

Wow, Geo-dawg => that is one slick lookin' error-coin!! (congrats, brother)

 

Wow very nice error's!!!!

 

Found some killer toned halves. Salsa time!



Also got a couple of dollars.

 

Got these on a trade today.

 

very cool => eye-poppin'

 

Real beauties, gbroke! I wonder where you got 'em??

Thanks for the photo tips! I have a lot of work to do to perfect things, but I can already tell I am on the right track.

This pic was my old work. Very cartoonish in my opinion.



Here is a quick attempt today...



This is a HUGE improvement in my opinion. Thanks a million, buddy!

 

Homerun!!!! Great photo & One Gemmy toner!!!
