Yes I realized it was silver when I saw 1964. At first I was upset because I am like WTF, a Canadian coin. But then I flipped it over and it was...
I found this recently in a quarter roll. (It was gunky so I acetoned it). I generally don't get foreigns. I got one other Canadian a while back, a...
I don't get the old stuff cause am just getting recent drops. My 1952 dime is not in this photo. The buff is a fried 1928 and the bottom right is...
