    OK as some of you know I have forgotten a lot about why I was keeping some of these coins I have. And having to relearn pretty much all the terms you folks use for coins and errors.
    So can anyone (PLEASE) Tell me why I have a crap load of Canadian nickels marked NICKEL??? And if you can Are they keepers or should I send them off to a friend in Canada who sends me circulated RCM Novelties like Loonies Toonies and such?

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Nickles are fake. I'd just toss them.
    Nickels are the real thing.

    Some older Canadian coins can be worth money, check out this:

    There are some VERY valuable varieties, Canadian cents and nickels.
    Generally, I would send most of them to your friend, they are worthless here.

    Now if you ever visit Canada you can use them to buy 2 slices of pizza and a can of soda! :D
    Oh wait.. Do they even have pizza in Canada? Do they eat it like us USA citizens do? I don't know :wacky:

    Yes they do!! I went to my first gentlemen's club around 1980 or so in Kingston,:nailbiting::jawdrop: And after that we found a place that had some of the best Pizza I have ever had.
    But I have been told to never eat at fast food joints. Something to do with all the missing horses!!:rolleyes:

    I am also finding I must have liked 1972 Ike's as well.

    Pizza even way back in 1973 when I took a trip to Phillipsburg when I was 17. It was at a strip club a few miles away.

    Sounds like a bummer and I hope you get better. Is your memory gone, or is it still there but fuzzy/selective? It may help to reread your old posts and threads.

    Just kinda fuzzy for the last 5 or 6 years. When I look at certain things I can say yea I remember that but others I haven't a clue!

    The tough part is looking at error coins and seeing the abbreviation I had wrote down, And now having to learn them by searching posts and the site all over. And it does not seem like I can remember them very quickly.
    I can say looking at pics of the last 8 years has helped a lot.
