I like Canadian coins and so should you!

These are the only small nickels I have. I have no idea where I got them either.




Here is the only Newfoundland coin I have. Nice try at a hobo carving on this beauty.

jlblonde ... There are chrome and "no chrome"exmples for both '44 & '45. There is a slight premium for the "no chrome" type. The '45 appears to have been whizzed to remove the original chrome or the remainder of the chrome after some had flaked off. They are neat errors and very desirable to hold onto. There have been a number of articles written on the "no chromes", especially in Canadian Coin News. Google it.

 

I will post some of my Canadian coinage.

 

Oh Canada!

1939 Commemorative 'Royal Visit' silver dollar (Thanks to ikandiggit)




My oldest Canadian circulation-find in the U.S.





Canada is America's hat!

 

WHen I am able, I like to buy "junk" silver Canadian dollars. Mostly I get Elizabeth II common date but occasionally I get a 1939 or 1949 Geo VI at "junk" prices.
A Canada silver dollar (pre-1968) contains exactly .6 troy ounce of pure silver, so I can figure out it's value easily in my head.
Usual condition is F to VF, sometimes even XF for later Elizabeth dates.

 

I've enjoyed reading every post in this thread. Thanks’ to everyone for all the information & good photos. :hail:

I have collected a type set of 5-cent Canada "nickels" which I personally really enjoy viewing. Every time I look in my Canada book(s), I stop & enjoy the nickels. However, I've never photographed any of the nickels to share here. Of course, some are not made of nickel. Some are Tombac & some are chrome plated, etc.

I think I'm going to get the camera out tonight. In the mean time, here are a few slabbed coins I've posted before.

 

One more slab photo.

 

Like the toning on that 1950 dime.

 

I keep checking my mailbox for your 50 dime. Nothing yet..

 

A few favorites:

 

I was going to post my tombac 5c, but after that I see no point!

Nice coin

 

some Canadian coins

 

here's one for now... hopefully I can post more soon.

 

For some reason I find more key dates in Canadian coins than USA coins. There must be a pretty low attention paid to Canadian coins, because I have found rare dates like an EF 1925 cent in roll searches. My oldest five cent from circulation is the 1930, the 10 cent is 1943, the quarter 1936.

 

What does that make Florida?

 

It sort of rhymes with peninsula.

 

Ship name is Bluenose

Thank you for the coin complement.

I think everyone that has posted probably knows the name of the sailing ship on the Canada dime. The name of the ship is the Bluenose. I assume that is spelled correctly. :smile

Here are some additional toned bluenose examples. (I know, the 1950 is the nicest one ).
