That's interesting (thanks for that) => Man, ya gotta love the ol' Newfie coins, eh? (classics!!) Great Coin!!
I still think one of the neatest recent mule's is the good ol' Olympic Wheelchair mule ... yup, I still check every single wheelchair quarter that I come across!! :yes: Huh? ... I guess you dudes have no way of knowing whether that photo is two individual quarters, or if it's an actual Olympic Mule, eh? (that's kinda funny) ... Curious? ... what is this mule's current going-price? (anybody out there have a new catalogue, or some recent info?) Thanks, gang
5c Canada 1858 Small Date AU53 PCGS So. I am inspired again! The 1858 Small Date is the most common of several nifty varieties known for the first-year Victoria silver half dime issue of 1858. The large provincial mintage was more than 1.4 million pieces. This is a nice high-grade circulated example. I love the little silver half dimes of Canada and Newfoundland! I guess we in the United States feel deprived because the "Crime of '73" eliminated silver half dimes (and trimes, and Seated dollars, and copper two cent pieces) forever! Enjoy!

Thanks! I picked the 1888 to start with because it's the key to the series and for once I want to knock the hard ones out of the way first instead of last like most people do. I really do like the look of it and I'll be trying to match the rest of the coins I buy with this one.
Some great looking Canadian coins, I really like the 1882 H Canada Large Cent it is in very nice condition... Alan
5c Canada 1874 Large Date (Crosslet 4) XF40 PCGS The 1874 half dimes appear in Crosslet 4 and Plain 4 styles. Both kinds together saw a production of 800,000 pieces, not small but less than many issues in the Victoria series which often ranged up to 3 million or so per year. The prices for the two do not show a huge variation and, in fact, crisscross in the various price guides. The Plain 4 seems more elusive in the higher Mint State grades (MS64-65). This XF40 PCGS piece prices at $145 in Haxby, $250 in CCN Trends, and Rick, $230 at the CoinsandCanada.com price guide. :smile Enjoy!

Here one of the 1963 1c DDR it maybe a hanging 3?. I found 3 like this one. but this one is the higher grade of them.they came from that mini hoard I was sent.
Nice coin Angelo and some very good pictures. I wish I could take pictures like that, I am just not camera savvy... Alan
A Canadian a day, keeps the doctor away. Nice little group of 1963 cents, amico mio. Best Regards, :hail: George
j00 Three great looking coins, the Canada Large Cent is a fun set to build, the Newfoundland Large Cents will be my next set... Alan
Thanks Alan! You'll like the Newfoundlands, they're pretty inexpensive; they had nicer grades but I was already over my budget
I am looking forward t starting the set, I will probably start sooner than later, nothing wrong with collecting two sets at the same time. Well depending what I have to spend LOL... Alan
