v-e-r-y nice!

Congratulations, De Orc.

 

Steve,that's a very nice 'Totem Pole Dollar' you have got there.I have yet to get one of those.You do realise that this coin is unpopular with the Native Canadians of British Columbia,as it contains the symbol of a raven,which,to them represents death.The raven is located near the top of the totem pole.

Aidan.

 

Yes I had heard that but then again some Indians would look at it as a spirit guide so not all bad :smile

 

Steve,the Native Canadians of British Columbia are the only ones who build totem poles.The design is very appropriate.

Aidan.

 

A few more to my Canadian collection

5c
1950

1c
1938
1939
1941

My one cent collection is now coming along rather well

 

Steve,that's a nice lot of Canadian King George VI coins that you have got there.There are several obverse subtypes that were issued between 1950 & 1952.It is mainly to do with the relief on the King's portrait.

Aidan.

 

I'll have to dig out all of my Canadian pieces and shoot some pics.
I know I have a 1932 Beaver Nickel, it could be a 35 though.

 

Gotta be at least a 37, prior to that they had maple leaf reverse

 

Ohhhh, well you learn something new every day.


I don't know much concerning Canadian coins.
I have several from cheap auction lots and such.
I'll try to snap some pics, so that you all might let me know if I have anything that is desirable.

 

That's why you've got us to fall back on. I learn a lot just by showing up here and reading everyone else's posts. Probably too much, judging from the emptyness of my wallet.

 

Chris,none of the 1920-36 1c. coins have a maple leaf on the reverse.

Aidan.

 

I just recently bought some Canadian 5 cent - Im interested in nickel .99 Still haven't received them yet
1922-1940
missing 1925, 2926 n&f-6, 1930, 1934 and 1940. Still checking ebay for them - maybe not ready to spend the money for the 1925 right now thou. I also order the book Grading Canadian Coins - maybe should have got the book first hey

That is a nice collection you have

Steve,the 1922 5c. coin is quite a difficult coin to find.Fortunately,I have got the 1947 Maple Leaf 5c. coin that was actually struck in 1948 as an emergency issue,as the modified dies had not yet arrived from the Royal Mint in London.

Aidan.
