I think I need all of those. Pennies with those dates

 

Another steal from a Heritage auction:

 

Came across this while sorting through a pound of international coins I ordered from Littleton. Fun stuff!

 

1975 PL Set. The cents were likely in the original package for the last 46 years as the side down is fairly evenly toned blue and were tough to get out. Both cents have no hits and seem like they are almost flawless. Some black threads from the Velvet case seem to be stuck to the toned side of one of the cents.

 

A couple of the others such as the nickel and quarter have interesting toning as well.

 

For Canada, maybe spell word as "colours".

 

I recently acquired a couple of Canada proof sets. Will endeavour to take some good pix and post on here. I will avoid breaking any out of their original protective packaging if I have to, other wise I can of course get much better pix of a bare coin.

 

This is a hard variety to find 1858 Canadian Large cent with no breaks in the vines or stems, it demands a high premium

 

Peter in Canada both spellings are acceptable but your right most spell it Colour

 

The custom PL Set holders are nice but dont hold the coins in place (except the 2 cents apparently), but the other coins are free to jostle around to ding the other coins!

The cents are now in airtites.

Up there, the "u" is taught and practiced. It's the American influence that has them "accepting" both ways. Suyvey 1000 Canadians, and at least 950 of them use the "u". (They'd also spell "you're right" and not "your right".

 

As a Yank transplant up here since '97, I've found that a Canadian just can't seem to pass up any "o" that they find, just so they can put a "u" with it.

 

Canada 1 dollar 1967. As I have become older I lack any patience for arguments of any sort. I normally use the American spelling of words, however I occasionally insert a British, Canadian, or Australian word or phrase or slang term on a whim. I might also add words in a dozen other languages, plus make up my own words and spellings. I know other people who constantly invent their own languages, and it is OK.
It's your right to be different, A?

 

I spent my first 26 years in Montreal and have been this side of the border for the past 52 more years. I'm more into American coins, but have a potpourri from Canada - best ones from my Grandfather who passed on before I was born. (Canada used to have as many $2 bills in circulation and $1's - both have gone by wayside and replaced by loonie & toonie coins. (The blonde with the uncuts has also been replaced!) Canada also dropped the penny in 2012. I'm probably breaking a cointalk rule, because meat ration tokens (from WWll days) and uncut $2's are not coins.

A VERY common grammar error.
"you're right" = you are correct
"your right" = pertains to possession of whatever "right" references: i.e, direction to the right as opposed to the left, or true or correct as a fact; or a moral or legal entitlement ("they had every right to be angry")

 

There ya go, lawyer speak, define it to the max. Now let's do some coins. Canada large cent 1859. I have 3 or 4 of these, not sure of the die differences. Gave one away not too long ago, actually sent it back to Ontario to a you tube guy.

 

There are over 200 varieties or die/marriages. Here's a great site for ID'ing your coin. Just go to "ID my coin" on the lead page:

I like Canada pennies. I need the early to mid (1920’s). Oh And those crazy 2006 pennies. Oops. Looks like I goofed. See picture
