Vicky fish scales (1858-1901 5 cent silver), followed closely by the NB 5 and 10 cent issues, and the 1858 20 cent piece
I am seriously considering adding some silver pre 67 Canadian coins to the collection. I have a lot to learn about them first though. I love the looks of the recent two tone 2 dollar coins also, but I don't even know if they contain any silver, that is how little I know about them. Research, research, research.
Just finished my nickels from 1922-2008. Had several mixed folders going on and finally condensed them all.
Personally, I like large cents, as well... especially the Vicky's. But my favorites are probably the Bank Tokens - Un Sou, Penny, & Half-Penny - from 1837-1857.
I started collecting these last year. I find them fascinating and extremely inexpensive. I have large cents and a few Bank of Upper Canada Bank Tokens
Sorry, dude. No silver in our toonies (which should have been called doub'loons, IMHO). Actually, no silver in any Canadian circulation coinage after 1968.
Sorry for the non-perfect pics with it in a flip , but my lighting isn't great tonight... An 1858 like this one?
I’m still drooling over that $10 gold. I wanted one when I heard that they were selling them. I want one more now. Nice Vicky Cent!
