<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2797418, member: 42034&quot;]Many years ago (1972 or 73) I bought a Canadian collection from a retired M.D. that seems to be change set aside from when someone visited Canada around 1890.&nbsp; I paid the going rate for US silver which was then 1.4x face for the collection.&nbsp; It included an 1870 half dollar and about half a roll of Canadian Victorian quarters.&nbsp; One I think is an 1893 which is probably a touch off of mint state.&nbsp; Many others were high grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>The sad news is this guy had 3 US Bust silver dollars which he put in his safety deposit box.&nbsp; Then he lent his key to some guy. Next time he checked all 3 Bust dollars were gone.&nbsp; It&#039;s a shame because at the time I probably could&#039;ve gotten all 3 for $20 - $50 a coin.&nbsp; I never did get any dollar older than 1878 until some years ago I bought a circ 1797 (probably an EF-40) out of a foreign collection auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
