Post your Canadian 5 cent silvers.

Heya guys, I just got the new Charlton guide 2010, and they went in depth with the varieties of 5 cent silvers. I have never really known much about the series but would love trying out my hand at identifying some varieties.
Post 'em if you got 'em!
1858 - 1920

These are a few of my metal detecting finds. Unfortunately, because of the site they were dug in (hardpacked soil), I nicked them :headbang:. I've found about 15 this year. My oldest is 1893 but it's pretty smooth.

Anyway, this is a sampling. This first one is in the best condition of them all (of course, it too, is nicked.)

 

Very nice finds , I do have quite a bit of these but my best one has to be my 1904 in AU58.

 

let me see...

 

Here's one from Newfoundland:

 

Nice little piece Jello

 

Can you guys get close ups of the dates on the two 1896's, 1899?

 

Hello Green18,

The Canadian silver 5-cent is not like the US silver Jefferson nickels during the war. The Canadian silver 5-cent coins are more akin to the US silver half dimes.

Very best regards,

Here's an interesting one, tilted to bring out a detail.
A 1903-H with a die crack rim-to-rim:

 

Thanks '89. I'm totally a fish out of water regarding these issues but I'm lovin' the pictures. (info too)

 

Kurt, that is very cool! It's no everyday you see a die crack like that, weird direction!

 

Snaz,
Yeah--pretty dramatic! That die was on its last legs.
It's on the large-H variety too.

 

The 1893 Looks like a 3 over 2.
Is that a listed variety??
It is followed by a 1858 which looks like a large date over small date
