1 Canadian cent 1952 Double 952 :






i found it in penny roll.

 

1965 cent. I think this is the small beads, pointed 5 variety, but.... Is it a Proof?


Also a 1947 (pointed 7 variety) maple leaf cent

 

My newest additions....

 

1904 Canada One Cent



25.54mm; 5.7gm; smooth edge.

I'll guess this Cent is fairly common. It shows what may be an attempt at cleaning, specifically around the date.

It came with many (20 or so) other Empire and Commonwealth coppers, some worn enough that display on CT may be wasted effort.

General guidance will be appreciated on this point, however, and thanks.

But: there are others of this clutch in presentable condition, though foul with soil. When first shown, they will be as found.

I don't recall ever seeing a US penny as filthy as the British coppers are routinely. Does it have to do with size...or alloy?

And there must have been enormous mintages, 'cause they are everywhere, in high numbers, cheap.

 

Nope - that 1965 is a blunt 5 type. Looks like a proof like strike.

 

Good eye!! I like collecting these machine doubled coins, with the doubling specifically on the date. Here is the same coin, in MS-65 Red.

 

Here is one for the Canadian collectors, and error collectors. I posted in the other forum, because I wanted to pick the brains of a few error collectors...

Hi. This one- cent is dated 1951. I do not know if it includes any error.

 

I did post this one just now, will do again here, since it is a new addition.

 

Something crazy and wild for the Canadian error coin fans...

1912 Newfoundland George V 20 Cents



~23.15mm; 4.7gm; reeded edge.

Arrived today with 7 other World silvers, one of which will follow here immediately.

The denomination is unusual, as not 25 or quarter. What were they called, colloquially...fifths?

Anyone know how Newfoundland was named, and when? Seems peculiar, somehow...no offense intended.

 

1872 Canada Victoria 25 Cents



~23.55mm; 5.5gm; reeded edge.

The Old Girl is pretty badly worn, and shows some serious soil.

Yellow shown is as it is...I don't know the alloy, yet.

Appears a bit thinner than the 20 cent...but is not!

 

It wasn't unusual to Newfoundlanders...

I believe that it was due to exchange rates making that a good denomination for coins, but I can't find anything at the moment (I'm away from my books on Canada currently)

If I remember what my grandfather told me, they were called '20 centers' (and if he remembered what his father told him)


When it was first found by Leif Eriksson (I've been to the settlement), it was called Vinland.

Newfoundland was named Terra Nova (New Land), as it was one of the first places that the Europeans had found land in the New World. (possibly by John Cabot in 1497 (!))


All of my Newfie pieces have rather interesting provenance, as they are family pieces that I have inherited.

Well Below Spot. But I did not see the spots on holder its in Not one one coin all on lens

 

Angelo a very nice silver coin, this coin is getting harder to find, it is a limited coin and part of the Canada wildlife series. When you do find one it usually comes with a high premium. I have been looking for one myself but I have never seen one below spot before congrats my friend. ...Alan
