Ah yes... the CFL on turkey weekend in Canada.... sort of like the NFL, but we have bigger balls!!! (and longer and wider fields, and one less down)...

Hey Steve, picked up this one from one of your fellow Manitobans....

Hello, SPP-O => wow, super error coin!!


Man, I can't believe that a fellow Manitoban didn't check with me first!!




I went to the good ol' Winnipeg mint this past summer ... always a cool visit!!

Nice hearing from you, my friend!!

 

Three new 50's joined the family

1910 Canada 50 Cent (mintage of 649,521)


1917 Canada 50 Cent (mintage of 752,213) (need to clean the slab, looks like a blob of sticker residue on the plastic)


1936 Canada 50 Cent (mintage of 38,550)

 

J J 1936 5oc Wow!!!!!!!
1910+1917 half dollars to Great pickup!!!!

 

Nice pick-up ...

=> yah, you've really gotta love a mintage of a mere 38,550, eh? (sweet)

 

Thanks guys, I was pretty happy when I came across it!

 

jjOO, great lookin' halfs and low mintage to boot..

 

Well, I have "almost" finished this 50 Cent piece album ...

Yup, but probably like many of you, I only need to score a "1947 Maple Leaf Curved 7"

=> sadly, a FINE-12 is listed at $2,000 ... so I probably won't be filling the ol' spot anytime soon!! (*sigh*)

I've posted a few bad-quality shots of my efforts ... ummm, hopefully I haven't already posted these photos? (I'm getting a bit old and forgetful)

=> oh, and I also posted a couple of the nicer/rarer coins in the album:

1947 Maple Leaf (straight 7) => 38,433 minted
1948 => 37,784 minted

... *sweet* ...

 

Hi guys => hey, can one of you please do me a favour?

If you double-click on one of the coin-album photos (above), does it "zoom-in" and allow you to read the mintage info, or does it only do that because I was the dude that submitted the photos?

=> thanks ... I'm sure that's a fairly low-tech question for most of you young and techy collectors, eh?

thanks again

 

Hi Steve, they zoom just fine, very nice set of half's..How's your day going , do you have snow yet, we are frosty and froggy....

 

nothing special, but love 'um, 3 each, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 5 1967 PL sets, flea market, still in envelopes, 20.00 apiece

 

Great set Steve!

 

Love these quarters, just a shame they so damn expensive in high grades. Got this single year on my last trip up North. Could not find a better one, but is OK.

 

Derick => Super coin (absolutely fantastic toning!! great eye-appeal!!)

... yah, this may be my favourite year? (well, I like the 1936 dot year too) ...

=> oh, but this is the year where they didn't engrave DEI GRATIA on the reverse (that makes it unique and super-cool)

I hope you don't mind, but I love my version so much I'm gonna post it as well!!

Cheers, coin-brother (again, awesome new addition!!)

 

The grade is strong on that one, must be worth a few.

 

Got these in the mail today. My first large cents. Got them off ebay for $6. The auction was for 7 but I got 8 in the mail. The 1899(you can barely make out the date) was an extra.

 

ICCS certified AU55 (so Charlton has it listed at $350)

But I'm a total a-hole, so I cut it out of its sweet lil' ICCS flip and stuck it into my album, for I have zero intentions of "ever" selling any of my coins, so those nasty flips and/or SLABs have no place is stevex6's collection (yah, I realize that you dudes will probably think that I'm insane for freeing my coins, eh?) ... oh well, we all have our own collecting habits, right?

=> in my eyes, my coins are meant to be "experienced" by their current owner (oh, that's me by the way) ...

Geeesh, hopefully I don't now receive a whole s-load of hate mail?!!



Cheers, brothers!! (I hope that you're all having a great weekend)

 

Nice => great one cent pick-ups, furryfrog02!! (wow, ya gotta love the Vicky's eh?)

 

I do the same.
