From a LCS in Vancouver, my Sister has managed to find another coin on my wanted list. Didn't have a 1963, it arrived this morning
Nice! Are you collecting them by date, then? There's one in my huge pile of new stuff, somewhere. I can't recall if it's a George V or QE2, offhand.
Maybe you should post a list of your needs. I have many Canadian coins in great condition that I have no interest in collecting, but too nice to spend.
It seems Father in Law was picking up each date for this dollar reverses of the thirties, forties, fifties and sixties. 1967 was the last silver year and I think it started in 1936. I thought I would continue it in his memory.
Sounds like a plan! Let me rummage through my heap and see what that one I saw is... if I can find it. Edit: hm. Didn't find it. I'm pretty sure there's one around here somewhere, though.
I'll have to dig mine out and check them. Can't do it for a bit, but will let you know if I have any of them.
Very cool. Can't help with the dollars but plenty of cents and nickels. I need to get myself some family across the pond
It is practical. My parents and three sisters emigrated there 41 years ago. I stayed in England as I was 18 and halfway through my electrical engineering apprenticeship and a wedding planned when I completed it. I have my Mother, three sisters and 7 nephews and nieces all looking for me when they are near coin shops
1935 was the first year. 1935 & 1936 were George V and have two different portraits. It's interesting that the 1947 Maple Leaf is considered a variety of 1947, but they were actually struck in 1948.
I should have elaborated, 1947 has a normal strike and 3 varieties of the engravers initials, doubled, tripled and quadrupled on the die. The normal 1947 I have. This from Numista Note that the engraver's initials 'HP' appear below the portrait of the King. There are three varieties that revolve around these initials: double HP, triple HP and quadruple HP. The varieties come from double, triple or quadruple striking of these initials. In 1945, only the Double HP exists. But for 1947, all four varieties can be found.
Sorry, I thought you meant blunt 7, pointed 7, and ML. There's also the 1947 Dot, and various iterations of 2x 3x 4x HP as you say. I started doing all the silver dollars a long time ago but never finished.
That’s amazing they do that for you. I buy some pretty cool stuff (in my opinion) and I can’t even get my wife and kids to look at them.
