Finally my 1867-1927 comm metal made to Alabama.

 

jello do collect a lot of medal coins and tokens?

 

No not really on metal but coins yes.

 

looks like a quadruple it will be my first for this year

 

Within the past week, I had found in very good shape a 1965 Canadian 1 cent coin with the pointed 5 and small beads, it also had double strike along the front of the bust and on the crown as well.

 

that's a hard one to find in great shape,,very nice

 

I will post pictures soon. I need to get batteries for my camera.........lol.

 

this one looks interesting this divot/gouge/bubble, comes through the other side of coin in a smaller version

 

Some nickel dollar additions, in the Canadian (ICCS) soft flip certified holders (I don't like them, but it is a heck of a lot cheaper than PCGS), and these are not coins that are for my PCGS registry set.

Business strike, nickel cameo strikes are quite uncommon. The rotated dies is about 15 degrees or so, at the edge of mint tolerances. Still, it would be a tough uphill paddle!!!

 

Got this one for our medal collection a couple months ago. We already had one. This one I got to keep it company, it was getting lonely.

Actually, OK, that's not exactly the truth. I'm a fool for big, heavy copper, and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

 

Don't have it yet but I signed up for the $20 for $20 subscription. Especially nice that they gave us US customers a break on the shipping cost. Main reason why I decided to sign up for it.

 

Nice eddy . I was told during the depression this was also used as cash/coinage .
I am not 100% that a fact or myth.

 

Angelo, I wouldn't be surprised if it is fact!

When I saw yours, I just had to find ours and post it.

 

I guess me being one day younger than dirt helps at times eddy

 

Angie, I assure you, I know how you feel. I was collecting coins back when hula hoops were the craze.

 

Yah, I don't buy a lot of moderns lately, but I couldn't resist this bad-boy!!

This coin celebrates one of Canada's iconic symbols, the industrious beaver.

The reverse image is inspired by the iconic design created in 1937 by Canadian artist G.E. Kruger Gray, which has adorned the standard five-cent circulation coin since.

Specifications:
Face Value: 50-cents
Composition: 99.99% pure gold
Mintage: 7,500
Weight (g): 1.27
Diameter (mm): 13.92
Finish: Proof
Edge: Serrated

 

Wow this must be a really small coin with a weight of only 1.27 grams!!! I like a lot of the Canadian coins but usually don't buy too many because of the high cost. I know mintages are very low but usually not worth the price they charge!! Just my opinion of course

 

=> I'm sure that you're 100% correct, but I seem to get caught-up in the Über-cool syndrome!!

... man, I just love these lil' gold Canadian coins!!
