Post Your New Canadian Acquisitions

these are not new, i have 3 more just like them. they are in fact un-circulated, i know because i rescue them myself from the thin mint cello. they were wrapped together in a bundle and have obviously been bumped around a lot. all have nice mirror pl surfaces along with bag marks and some have slight milk spots. they haze near the bottoms are reflections from the camera. wish i could take a better pic. doing everything one handed is the pits.

nice ... they're only 2 years younger than me, but they're far better looking!!

 

That's what my wife tell me about me. Steven

 

Keep up the faith Steve, I have all the loon dollars, including the painted ones. Only know am I realizing that my 2007 silver wedding loon has a substantial premium. Of course, my favourite coloured dollars are the Vancouver Canucks!!!

 

Go Canucks, Go!!!

=> born and raised on Vancouver Island!!

 

I've got a good deal today. I've got this silver quarter for 1 dollar 25 cents only!

 

Siberian Man => the good ol' 1968 quarter (this was the last year that Canada minted these coins with any considerable amount of silver in 'em => 50% Ag & 50% Cu)

NOTE => they also made just as many with 100% Nickel in 1968 (but I'm assuming that you used a magnet to verify your coin's composition ... although, I guess it's fairly easy to spot a silver coin, eh?)

71 million => Ag/Cu
89 million => Ni

... sweet pick-up!! (it's a nice lookin' coin!!)

 

hey gang => ummm, sorry about my up-coming download of bad photos, but I got bored and I needed a coin-release!!
















NOTE => this lot of Canadian quarter-photos doesn't include any of my "sets" from 1999, 2000, 2001 and/or the Olympic sets (ummm, or any of my cheesy coloured quarters ... or any of my error quarters ... or any of my gold quarters ... or any of my 32 mm diameter quarters ... or, or, or ... man, apparently I have way too many quarters!!)

... again, I'm sorry about the poor photos (but I'm fairly sure that you can merely click on the photo and it will "enlarge")

If you're still reading this, then thanks for your interest!! (I love coins too!!)

 

Eh-heh-heh ...

=> apparently, my OCD needs to keep my collection all-together, so here are a few more bad photos of my Canadian Quarters:

 

Awesome set Steve, I only have a few Canadian quarters..? did you make that album or did you buy it, i collect Canadian nickles and have a old Whitman w/ plastic slides, it go's from 1922 to i think late 4o's would like to get some thing for my oldest set. pre 1922 and the more modern 50's to current..Can a guy get a album like your in that date range or what would you suggest...

 

Hey, Eng => thanks for your Canadian coin interest, my ancient coin brother!!


Dude, that album has taken my entire life to create (basically, as I gathered coins and researched the multi-types, I had to create my own template) ...

=> it's actually pretty funny, for any of you engineering/drafting types may actually recognize that I manually created this non-tech-template in AutoCad!! (what a fricken engineer, eh?)

... anyway ... yah once again, sorry dude => this collection and it's info-template is definitely a one-of-a-kind-homemade baby!!

Hey, but I'm glad that you like it (it took me a life-time to create!!)
Cheers, brother!!

 

Steve! Your collection is gorgeous! I'm more than shook up!

 

Thanks, Siberian Man (I'm glad you liked my effort) ... but geesh, I didn't mean to rattle ya, my friend!!

 

Wow Steve! Fantastic set! (that's me green with envy!)

 

Wow man, truly and achievement. The variety research is what I like. I guess you found some varieties not before documented?

 

Here's mine, girlfriend's parents sent her some things a few weeks ago and added a little baggy of coins for me to go through. Mostly wheats and a couple IHCs, this was my favorite one mainly because it may have sparked my interest in Canadian coins

1859 cent

 

Nice Kris, that's how I started my Large Cent collection too, but mine was a 1899

 

What grade is your 1887 25c Steve??

 

SPP-O => sadly, it is merely a Good-VG (not exactly the "plum" of the bunch) ...

However, the 1893 (shown directly beside the 1987) is one of my favourites
=> it is an AU55 (*sweet*)
