A couple of new halves I just picked up and a nice caribou to add to my herd.

 

Great new additions, Night Hawk (congrats)

 

Beauty Large Cents Petro89!

 

Picked this up a few days ago.... 1929 Canada Nickel, Far Rim Variety (the top of the 'S' on CENTS tapers or narrows on the top loop so is further from the rim). Price difference between the near and far rim is pretty much negligible, they're both cheap! I wanted one 40 years ago (wow, I'm old) and finally got around to picking one up for the set. Just a nice AU version, didn't want to make the others look bad......




I'm still trying to catalogue several of my coins that I had originally collected years ago, so not really sure right now how many I may still need to finish this particular short set or how many different varities I may have or still need, just remembered this one was a date I was looking for.

I had catalogued my older collection years ago but most of that information was destroyed in a flood that pretty much wiped me out (thankfully not the coins!). A majority of those coins were sentimental donations from family long gone who wanted to support my interest in the hobby....priceless....to me.
If another flood hits me (pretty unlikely now ) look for gold down river, they won't be the ones I try to save......
Enjoy the Easter weekend friends

 

Went out to my grandparents new house for an Easter gathering today and my cousin and I were talking coins. He knew I was a collector and he collects old bottles and signs. My uncle overheard us and did the usual 'you collect coins?!?!' Turns out he had a small collection of Canadian silver dollars that he has had for 20 - 30 years. He was intending on selling them now to a pawn shop and wanted to make sure he wasn't going to get screwed. I gave him my opinion on the coins (and I am by no means an expert) and he goes 'cool! I will give them to you for the silver value if you want'. I told him that I would easily pay more since they usually have a small premium anyways. He refused and insisted so I said sure and came home with 12 new silver dollars.

 

Wow => awesome new pick-ups, my Manitoba friend!! (some real winners in the bunch) ... yummy

 

dwhiz => are you a soccer fan? (I married into a Portuguese family, but I've always cheered for Germany ... sure, her parents don't talk to me in English, but every now and then her father will look at me warmly and say "burro stupido" ... yup, good times)

... cool coins, brother!!

This isn't a new acquisition of mine but I have a couple Newfy silver halves, here's one. Although, Newfoundland wasn't a Canadian province in 1898. Without looking it up, can anybody tell me which year it did?
