Welcome aboard the site. Was a chief myself and then went to OCS in '76. Rose the ranks and retired in '97 as a CDR. Canadian Large Cents are my specialty

 

COULD YOU POST A LINK FOR CANADIAN LARGE CENTS. 1902 COIN HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DOT IN THE FIELD BELOW DATE -NEAREST TO ZERO.

 

I would say just google "Canada large cents" and see what comes up. I post a picture of my 1902 cent reverse and it does not appear to have a dot like yours. I do see some ugly scratches though.

 

Well, I was super excited about this coin when I purchased it in the 2x2...until I took a closer look at it outside the 2x2. Without the damage to the obverse this coin would be absolutely gorgeous. Not quite ever seem this level of emerald green toning on a cent before.



Here are a couple extra shots of the obverse at different lighting angles to highlight the color:



And, for good measure, a couple of 1858 Large Cents I picked up recently:

 

That's a die chips on the fields under the date.

 

Those blue steel King George VI nickels could very well be original surface, not cleaned. They do occasionally show up in change looking just like that. Not very often at all any more, but I have seen them come in change looking just like that. I can't vouch for the Sudbury commemorative nickel, though... it looks a little too pristine to have survived pocket change.

 

1962 50 cent proof or proof like?

 

PL (Cameo or Heavy Cameo based on photo).
I'd have to double check but pretty sure the mint didn't issue any proofs until several years later.
(their proof program started in the '80s)
" Issued: Beginning officially in 1953, although some earlier coins are known in Proof-Like condition.
This limited-edition set features numismatic versions of the seven circulating Canadian coins. Carefully hand-selected, these coins are the best of their kind. Proof-Like sets are a complete set of coinage for a year. The sets contained silver coins up to 1967, and thereafter contained coins made of nickel."
"Although the coins from 1971 to 1980 are technically of specimen quality, the whole series is generally known as the Proof set series. The coins were not actually entirely proof until 1981."
Nice looking 50 Cent @coin_nut !

 

I love the Canadian large cents. Think I will get rid of the other Canadian odds and ends I have (except for the silver dollars) and just concentrate on the cents. I forget the rules of this thread, so next post to be 1876 or Canada?

 

Edward VII, 1905 Canada one cent

 

Does anything need to be said?

 

I must agree, that is an excellent specimen. I have a lot of nice ones, and none of them really comes close.

 

Sweet coin can't wait to see it in hand

 

I'll bring it tomorrow. Different lighting:

 

Kinda close, no cigar...

 

Picked this one up yesterday I'm not sure after further inspection if it can be successfully restored.

 

If you're referring to the stain at 2:00 reverse, maybe not (acetone is worth a shot) but I wouldn't have cared either.
