Matthew: We seem to be specialized in the same area. Are you on other coin sites?
I normally never even look in the "Coin chat" subforum here because it usually deals with things that I have very little interest in. However, I...
I like your Canadians
I've heard damp old manila envelopes, the old yellow coin envelopes, the boiled egg rountine, and I know a guy who used to put the coin in a...
Made in China with Cad/Cam dies. It's got 11' pole marks all over it.
Someone post a Canada 5 cent from the war years. On the Reverse is a huge "V" (for victory) and around the extreme edge is written in Morse Code...
There are over 200 varieties or die/marriages. Here's a great site for ID'ing your coin. Just go to "ID my coin" on the lead page:...

The winner has 50% of his bids with this single seller... How did you get THAT information? There was a single bidder (among others) who was...

Yes, start a new thread. This thread is ages old. The 1969 quarter is 100% nickel and will be attracted to a STRONG magnet. If you were using...
