    @KBBPLL nice 47 maple collection, the dollar is the last on my list. Much more rare than the 48.

    @Egry thanks, I got all except the two halves from my grandfather, very lucky. Yes, I think the 47 ML $1 is seriously underappreciated. It's the second lowest mintage of the series and only 2,355 more were minted than the 48, but the 48 has fame and the 47 ML hides in its shadow. I just like the story I guess, how all the 47 ML coins are really 1948. I don't have the cent, one day maybe, they aren't expensive.

    Here are a couple Canadian large cent rarities the 1881 Single foot N's with only a handful reported, one of the rarest Canadian large cents known. the second coin is almost as rare its very hard to find especially in the higher grades the 1882 triple punch obverse img055.jpg img054.jpg img058.jpg

    I can't remember if I posted here before, but I have a benefactor that gave me quite a few beautiful uncirculated recent Canadian coins and I really haven't had time to got over them. I do have a few that I've had a while, again, I really haven't had time to log them in either. I love this thread. I just a backwater country boy from the eastern country of North Carolina and it takes me more time to go over them. I'm thankful to my benefactor and all of those that have posted here. It will help me identify the coins that I have. Great pictures!

    Thanks! I know I picked up a raw 48 cent years ago to fill that hole and I'm not sure about the 47ML. I'll have to pull out the box o' Canadian and check. I should keep better records. I was into picking up all the George VI silver a while back but never finished.

    I could go on forever! I was born & raised in Montreal where I started my Canadian coin collecting before coming to USA in 1973. My Canadian collection started with ones from my Grandfather who passd in in 1941 before I was even born. Here in States, I go both ways (in coin collecting that is!) - I wouldn't know where to start, but I'm enjoying seeing ones other Members have posted where I think to myself "That's like mine!" (I'm probably breaking club rules, because my pictures are not quite coins, but they are Canadian currency. The uncut $2's were from a promotion I conducted in a prior life ..

    Jim, I liked your modest self-dedcription as being a country boyform NC! I'm a former Canadian, lived 35 years in Connecticut, but was a proud "good 'ole' boy" in Dixie in Georgia for 14 years and loved my time there! Now, I'm in Poconos of Pennsylvania, safe distancing and going through penny rolls!

    My wife got her first COVID vaccine shot today, and she asked if I wanted to go to the coin shop that's only a 5 min. drive from where she got it. Of course!

    As I'm poking through a big bin of world silver, she decides to poke through a bucket of mixed non-silver world coins...well, it was supposed to be non-silver.

    She pulls out a tiny silver coin, holds it up to me, and says, "I know you like tiny coins - is this something you'd want?"

    I know the pictures are a bit blurry, and the coin is all scratched up on the reverse, but the date is a clear-enough 1858 - a first year date I don't have yet in my hoard of tiny silver coins (which is somewhere between 1,600 and 2,000 coins, many of which are Canadian 5 cent silvers.)

    Yes. Yes, I would like that one. (especially for melt!)

    I love her for a lot of things - but now she's cherrypicking coins for me? :)

    I know someone that used to work at a bank and had a roll of uncut $2, I’ve been trying to buy them off of her for years. What do you think they are worth?

    A recent pickup: I was wondering if anyone could confirm whether or not the thickness of the designer's initials and beads are normal for this year, or if it is something else.

    It's impossible to see from the small photos. I don't see that as any evidence towards a variety.

    I see nothing diofferent. Maybe just the crispness of the strike or newer dies.
