    I like that very much. I bought this today and await its arrival but I am sure there is more to this coin than meets the eye? The reverse looks like its been struck higher on first hit and then re hit where it should of been 1659a.jpg 1859.jpg

    I am no fan of Red copper. I feel it's unnaturally prolonging the inevitable, and refuse to pay the ridiculous premium. There are currently three more just like that one coming, and I plan on completing the Date set in 2017 in Mint State. It's gonna be....slightly tough for 1858. :)

    Not to mention the huge crack at 3:00 obverse.

    1966.jpg What you reckon about this dollar I have never seen anything like it. It looks like part od the canoe has been left open to show what's in there. All I can describe it as is a toy bear and a head monkeylike doll if you get me lol 1966.jpg

    I must admit that Canadian Lg Cents have been sparking my interest lately. Theare pretty reasonable priced and quite easy to find. I'm Not a huge fan of copper coins , however these seem to speak to me as I love the color as well as the coins design.

    Looks like VF 30 By UK grading standards so around XF US. Beautiful coin my favourite coin series of all coins. Just amazing detail

    On the good side of VF, by European standards, I should think. From a US TPG, EF45 or so.

    Local coin show pickups. Was happy to find the 1910 Sixpence. They're not rare or expensive, but I never see them. But this seller had at least 5 of them, so the best one came home with me :)
