Re: coin condition and metal detecting: The two dimes were found in a park near an old path, under old trees. They had to have been well protected and in prime soil conditions not to have been affected all these years. I've dug large cents that looked almost new and then only a few feet away dug some that were so corroded that they could hardly be identified.

 

Edward VIII, One cent.

 

Nice pieces, Siberian Man!

@gbroke- Sweet '58!

 

Thank you very much.

 

George V, one cent.

 

Thanks, I can't believe I have it. I bought a "lot of large Canadian cents" on ebay last year. Description said no key dates.
I paid around $65 for the whole lot. Had like 60 large cents including the 58, and almost every single year. Many key dates and in nice grades.

 

Siberian Man: I see a lot of your posts of all these beautiful coins from around the world. How many countries are you representing with your collection? Very impressive by the way.

 

Nice gbroke, I think that might be Obverse die OC2
Is the T in Gratia repunched? I can see the R and G in Regina are.

 

Sometimes they come out of the ground like this:

1887 Queen Victoria

 

I think I can see some muted luster

 

I see it too... on the denticle between 11:00 and 12:00.

 

I am not well versed in the varieties (by that I mean, I know nothing). However, this picture was taken last year. I will take a much better picture tonight and post it. I would love to know the variety so I can write it on the 2x2. I do recall, there is a lot of what appears to be doubling on a lot of letters. Maybe those are repunches. No clue! I remember you mentioning this to me in another thread a long time ago.

 

Oh really (hopefully I said it was the same die last time )? haha, yeah, there should be slight repunching on almost every letter on the obverse for it to be OC2
I'd love to see new photos.

 

Here's my 1854 penny token from the Bank of Upper Canada.

 

here's my oldest canadian coin



here's my youngest canadian coin



here's my latest find from roll searching

 

As promised, I said I would re-shoot these coins once I had this camera thing figured out. And thanks to Swish I think these will represent the coins a bit better.
Thanks again Swish

 

you are welcome snaz.

those are some nice coins. :thumb::thumb: your 1938 makes mine look really bad. and i thought mine was nice.

 

This is a 1925 cent (Key date) that I dug out of the ground. Notice the nick I put in it :headbang:.
The ground was as hard as a hockey puck and the coin was in the hole with another one. I didn't nick the crappy coin but nailed the key date coin!





This is my oldest Canadian silver coin. An 1870 quarter, the first year they were issued:

 

isn't that the way luck goes? :goofer: nice coins!!
