They would probably be considered tokens. P.S., I like the bison on the manitoba one. No such thing as such a nice design on real coinage, though.
That's one of my favorite errors. I'm sorry I can't help you with the grade or price, but I just wanted to comment on what a nice coin that is. I...
Nice looking coins though. To me, something like that is just as collectible as a real coin if you are interested in Canadian history. I like the...
Wow, great find! Must have been stolen, but I'm glad it reached another collector before it got worn down further or even destroyed.
Why don't we just forget all this silly coin arguing and focus out hatred on the real enemy... FOREIGNERS! Seriously though, this thread is...
Well, I got mine for $200 five years ago, and I've never really detected anywhere other than my back yard. I have detected at about 3 other sites...
Some people would ask why you would possibly want coins with (often) poor portraits of glorified dictators. Your reasoning is inherently flawed....
Nice stuff, guys! I would especially like to find a blank planchet. That's one of the top things on my circulation want list. Nothing to report...
Yup, PMD. Nothing that I know of would cause a matching bump on the obverse. If it were a strike through, the obverse would be unaffected.
Also, I wanted to add, that I hope Andrew did not take my comments personally. This is a coin discussion forum, and that's all that was meant by...
I apologize for that. I usually don't hijack threads, but it's hard to let a good discussion pass me by. It reminds me of the stories from the...
Well, I really know nothing about ancient coins, but I've dug a few teens and twenties wheat cents that have that same deep green color. I dug an...
Not neccesarily. Things were much different then. In fact, right up until the assassination of president Garfield (as I recall), you could walk...
Andrew, from your harsh words and indirect, anger-laden sarcasm, I get the idea that you have been deceived by the less-than-honest sellers who...
I agree wholeheartedly. I told someone about the pre-'82 cents, and they suggested I hoard them and sell them on eBay, but I refuse to do so. I...
Well, I can appreciate that, however it seems like a rather large leap to assume that all of these coins will be used to bilk the public. I...
As far as I know, coins are rarely counterfeited for general circulation. Not for many years anyway. The most counterfeited piece of US currency...
I may be way off base here, but I think there's a big difference between an altered coin and an identified coin. Since there is currently no other...
No more votes? Only 6 days left to vote!
Sorry for taking so long to reply, but I've been busy for a while. I'm certain that the note is from the WWII era, and that is was a 100 yen...
Separate names with a comma.
