newfoundland 1917 1919 25 cent pieces what grade and value

seems although alot of the newfoundland coinage was not highly minted and that we joind confederation in canada in 1949 that there is still a few coins laying around in peoples houses. something perhaps a grand father or a parent had. some you find in just maybe a coin or two but every now and then you get lucky and hear from someone,about someone they know with a nice little hoard. i am in the process of searching down a person who traded a half dozen beer with an old guy who had supposiedly a large bag of old newfoundland and canada coins. the person that told me said he saw the bag a few years ago and when he lifted it.he figured it weighed 7 or 8 lbs. if i can get that it would be like finding treasure. so next week im heading out on my search.

i heard of a story of a guy last year boughta old house in an outport in newfoundland. i wont say where but inside the wall when they were doing reno;s found a package with 370.00 worth of old newfoundland paper money mostly 1 and 2 dollar pieces. . in a few weeks ill be out that way on vacation. im going to try to find the person as well in st john's a friend of mine in his 70's told me of a house where his friend s aunt put a bag of newfoundland 5 cent pieces in side a hole in the wall. when they took a old stove pipe out back in 1948. theres treasures every where they just need to be discovered. thats why i took up metal detecting. newfoundland is the oldest place in north america and theres a ton of old items just about every where.. wow thias makes me excited..

 

That does sound really cool. Let us know what you find. I'm a fanatic NFLD collector

 

It sure sounds exciting on this end. Shades of the old days, when you could find really old coins (particulary pennies) floating around in the change. Once, when I was a boy, my mother was in charge of the charity drive at the school where she taught. She brought home a huge hunk of change, and I got to search through it as long as I replaced any coins I wanted with others of the same face value. I still remember finding old George V pennies in the hoard, and even some George VI nickels. No silver; though; it was 1979, and silver had already shot through the roof.

Maybe you'll get more leads if you pretend to be one of these people
