    These are some real beauties, I am curious as to the 1943 Canada cent though? Is this similare to early American coinage having the V on the coin for Victory? 1943 was WWII but the allied forces were no where near victory. Just a question based on my dumb side :) thanks for entertaining me.

    This caught my eye as well. I think the V for 5 meaning it's a 5 cents.

    I believe it stands for both the Roman numeral V for 5 cents , like the US Liberty nickels ,as well as V for victory in war. Taken from Churchill ' s famous "V" for victory . What you failed to notice is the Morris code around the reverse rim. Have a good look around the rim notice the dots and dashes. The uncrowded Tombac nickel hidden message..... "We Win When We Work Willingly" it replaced the denticles. That are on the rim on the obverse.

    Just picked up another toned Morgan for my extensive collection of Morgan toners. This one has the color pattern I like a lot--Gold, going to rainbow. The reverse also has some nice toning. Had it not had some dark black on the obverse, it probably would have gotten the star. NGC won't star a coin with black in the toning pattern, normally.

    Nice toner could Ngc missed a E clash? I can't tell toning could be fooling my eyes. But if they did you got a little more value .

    I thought so. I just posted this coin from my iPad. Looking at the picture on the desktop iMac, it does look like an E clash. Didn't really notice that.
