Fresh 1, I like it.

 

Ahem... that is NOT a Canadian 5 cent piece. At least not at the time it was made.









<--- *Points to his Location.*


All of our colonial coins have a very low mintage. If you want to see something really cool, checkout the Newfoundland $2.00 gold coin!

 

I meant newfoundland.... doh.... idiot me..

 

9 dollars? were the pics good?
You got it for 10% the book price....

 

No they weren't.... took a chance on this one..

 

Here are the sellers images... he used a scanner which most of the times leaves out the detail of a coin


This is what it looked like when I first got it. It had a film on it and some gunk.


And.... then .... of course this is what it looked like after a quick dip in acetone and a roll dry with a qtip... the film and most of the gunk came off revealing it's luster!

 

I'd say you did super good!....
sell it.
lol

 

Hey nice coin and dip result.

 

Well I'd like to keep it for now. I have always loved Canadian coins, and have collected then religiously, but now I am moving into Newfies and the other Provinces. I think I may end up sending it off to ANACS and seeing what grade it comes back with...
