I'm so lame. I was the first person to respond to this thread nearly two years ago and then never included an image. I buy Canadian coins the same way I buy US coins; that is, I look for gunky, crusty, meaty circulated coins or wonderfully lustrous and colorful mint state coins. My favorite issues from Canada and pre-Confederation are from Newfoundland and I even have a Whitman Classic Newfoundland type set album in progress.

However, included below is an image of the type of circulated coin that makes me weak in the knees. It is dirty, has great meat remaining and is original as the day is long-

 

Great lookin' new coin, Tom B ... I like 'em a bit grungy as well!! (they're more interesting)

I tried finding old 20 cent pieces that I hadn't already posted, but after looking through all "64 pages" of this thread I found it fairly difficult (apparently I've posted quite a few of my old coins during the past fews years?!)

... but I did manage to find this average ol' Newfie 20 cent piece (I have never posted this poor ol' gal) ... so here she is ...

=> good ol' Vickie the Newf




=> only 125,000 minted (which amazingly, is actually quite a lot for this cool ol' Newfie 20 cent series!!)

 

Here are a few of my canadians i know nothing about pm me for any q's

 

Found this at work today.

 

Wow! That's pretty cool to get in change.

 

1886/6 quarter eBay seller notes????
Is he or her right?

 

Looks like wear to me but i do see a possibility of 1886/86 or the entire date. Hard to tell on that one jello

 

I agree with you better photos are needed for my liking.

 

Agree hard to tell could be damage to date; it is a short bough end though

 

Hey jello, that's an awesome new addition ... yah, it made me go take a few photos of my coins (coins I haven't ever posted before) ...

Ummm, I also have a sweet enough example of an 1886 25 cent piece (my version is supposed to be a 6 over 7, which "could" be correct, but I'm not 100% on that ID?) ... either way it rocks!! (540,000 minted for the seven different varieties)

... enjoy ...

 

Hi again ... I took photos of three of my sweet 25 cent pieces ...

=> this second example (1875) is a "KEY DATE" (the rarest of the Vickies!) .... it is a very rare lil' sweetie!!!

Sadly, my example was rated as a very humble "G6" => which is still a $400-$500 coin (sweet, eh?!)

... enjoy ...

 

Yup, me again ... this is the last of my three new thread-additions ...

=> this 1889 is "numerically" the rarest of the 25 cent Vickies, but as we know, the previous 1875 seems to be more illusive (regardless, there were only 66,340 coins minted!!)

thanks for takin' a peek at my sweeties ... cheers, my Canadian bros!!

 

Sweet 25 cents indeed Stevex6!

 

Agreed 100%

Won THIS one below
$6.50 1916 canadian Dime
Is there a variety?

 

No varieties listed in my varieties book Angelo.

 

Thanks there @ jjoo I think leave maybe. Interesting the price lower grades s went high? Second one I won grades better over all.

 

Could be, the book I was looking at only lists major & some minor var's, doesn't get into all errors.
