    robec, if you had to pick a favourite, which would it be?? I think I love the 1954 PR66 the best, that green obverse is outstanding... almost mesmerizing, like staring into the green eyes of a beautiful redhead...

    You picked the same one I would pick. It has a beautiful pattern with great color on both sides.

    Rob, I like your silvers the best. The Oregon is drop-dead gorgeous.

    Hard to compete with proof toned cents, but here goes. This is a short series (1968-1986), of 15.5 grams of pure nickel Canadian business strike dollar coins. Low mintages, weak strikes and lack of love over the years for this series relegated most to the junk bucket, creating grade rarities, especially for some years plagued by strikes so weak, that the eye-appeal takes a beating on the grading (pure nickel is not pretty weakly struck). This has been a labour of love for me, some of the coins cost me only face value. I still think this series is a sleeper, representing the last of the voyageur series.

    I would have the number one set, except I don't want to cough up $8K for an error coin that seems to be part of the registry. I just upgraded 7 coins, which represents a two-year cycle of hunting, so pictures for those will be forthcoming.

    edit: I just realized this was in a US Coin thread - I didn't see that before, because I just clicked on the link in the recent topics window. If you want me to move this to a world coin thread, please let me know. --SPP

    It never occurred to me to showcase my PCGS Canadian nickel dollar errors in a set like that. Love the showcase and errors with such large coins.

    Edited

    OK - a quick hour or so with Adobe Illustrator, and the nickel dollar error PCGS showcase is live.

    I have about 8 more errors at PCGS right now, like this one:

    I will add them when I get them back. Thanks for the great idea 19Lyds!!

    Here's what I've got that's PCGS cert'd. Have a few more in PCGS slabs but the varieties aren't attributed.

    I'd have probably gotten a few of the bigger varieties that aren't attributed on the slab attributed a long time ago if it didn't cost an extra $30 just to get the Overton # on the slab, and then an extra $12 for a reholder. Then add shipping and your probably down over $50.00.

    Just not worth it, IMHO.
