Well thanks to a package I got in the mail today this project is almost done. These are mostly all circulated with the exception of a few. This is a Date set so major varieties were not included. I am missing the 2 key dates, 1925 and 1926, and the 1942 Tombac. Here it is so far. From 1922-2017. The book ends at 2011 so the rest will have to go in 2x2's for now. As always I will be upgrading this over time and moving into new folder as well. I love the new 2017 commemorative. Thanks for looking...Mont
Now that's a big nickel!! One I don't have to get a loop to see the details...very bad eyes. No can't say that I do. I do have a few of the normal size for that year.
Cool! I love the look of an old school album sometimes. At first I wondered what the "gold" colored one was, until I remembered about the tombacs. Interesting (to me) factoid: Canadian nickel is magnetic, so most of these coins will stick to a magnet, unlike US "nickel" five-cent pieces, which are actually 75% copper and only 25% nickel. Since many Canadian coins are magnetic, it makes me wonder how successful one could be "magnet fishing" in popular swimming lakes and such places. You'd probably get a ton of other junk, but if there were enough $1 and $2 face-value coins found (which I believe are also magnetic?), that could add up nicely.
