Here is a new picture. Hey Snaz, let me know if theres something I can look at through the loupe to help identify the variety.
Well snaz, you have rekindled my love of canadian coins. They kind of went to the wayside while I pursued the U.S. stuff, and went through a big silver phase. I forgot I even had a bunch of Canadian half dollars. I also am trying to photo every coin I have. So, no time like the present! For those who haven't seen the half dollars, here are the three types from 1911+. Some beautiful designs! 1911-36 (George V) 1937-52 (George VI) 1953-date (Elizabeth II) edit: Wanted to add, that the size changed in 1968 from 29.72 mm to 27.13 mm
wow, so those are very difficult to classify. They all look so similar. I think I'd say OB6 (obverse Die, Die used on 1.33% of 1858 cents) and RC8 (reverse Die, Die used on 2% of 1858 cents) . I think I'm fairly confident on the Reverse Die, but the Obverse I want to say OB1, but apparently, according to the literature I have on hand that isn't possible. And the closest Obverse Die I can find is OB6 out of the possible Obverse Dies.
Nice Halves gbroke and once again.. great photos! And that rocks your getting interested again in some Canadian coins. Heres a fairly new one to my collection... I haven't got around to giving this one a bath yet, I should do that soon though. It needs it.
Yeah I really dig the halves. I am about to buy a few uncirculated: 1938, 1939, 1940. Thanks a lot snaz! lol
Awesome Snaz. I will mark it as OB6/RC8! Thats more info than I would ever gather. Thank you so much.
I have too many to photo, but here are some old ones. I have about a roll of silver dimes and quarters plus some halves and dollars and scores of nickels and pennies. Here are two large pennies, and a silver 5cent.
