The engraver Thomas Shingles hand-engraved the master die entirely by hand without the aid of a reducing machine. The reverse shows the ship <i>Matthew </i>in which John Cabot &quot;rediscovered&quot; Newfoundland in 1497 after the Vikings (ca. 1100).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>5c 1886 Small 6 XF45 PCGS</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]172268.vB[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>I love these little silver half dime &quot;fish scales,&quot; they lasted far longer in Canada than in the U.S. which discontinued them in 1873. But in Canada they lasted until the famous 1921 issue, which was mostly melted. I have both certified and a nice XF &quot;raw&quot; set going. The silver dimes are also beautiful and underappreciated coins. Enjoy! :hail:</p><p><br /></p><p>Best Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>George[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
