I just started on Newfoundland, got the jump when I got a a great buy on 50cent and 20 cent pieces only need 2 to finish and 7 20 cent, just started a month ago, they seem like such a bargain, most of my last purchases for coins in this era are crazy expensive, in the 1000s. Its fun to get decent coins like an 1907vf for 25.00 1909vf for $30.00 also got an 18,17,11, 5 coins fine or better for 120.00 bucks. It's crazy.

I collect NFLD cents, but very tough to chase down in full red. Here is a fairly new acquisition.   "Research is what I am doing, when I don't know what I am doing" --Wernher von Braun

Hard to say, it's quite blurry, I think it is though.
SPP - Very nice coin! I agree it is hard to find them full red as you barely see any on eBay even.

It is a 66 red ICCS - there were actually two available when I picked this one up over a year ago, and I got to pick from both. The one I think you are referring to, was in recent auctions (RCNA and Torex), and is perhaps still for sale. I found that coin, while has a brighter, newer colour compared to mine, barely belonged in a 66 holder. This coin, I loved the softer, cartwheel lustre, and the fields/devices are almost perfect. It will find a new home in a PCGS holder soon. The <100KB images here are deceiving, I turned down the light trying to capture the softness of the surfaces and the near-perfect fields and strike (except for one tiny nick in the King's crown). It is without doubt, a 'Red' coin by PCGS standards. "Research is what I am doing, when I don't know what I am doing" --Wernher von Braun

NFLD coins truly are undervalued....you can purchase really decent grade coins for a good price as very few collect and most seem to dump them to get the silver value....just think of all the nfld melted to date...hmmmmm  |

Interesting that this section is here. I was in a coin store recently when some people came in to sell a tub full of random world coins. I took a look through it right after the dealer had purchased it and I grabbed this for $6. I collect GB Victorian and this jumped out at me. How did I do?   Oldest Found:
Cent: 1899
Two Cents: 1867
Nickel: 1916
Dime: 1943
Quarter: 1964
Half: 1917
Canadian silver:
Quarter 1966

 Here's a drop dead beauty currently on sale on E-bay from seller Kibe. It's an I.C.C.S. (old Certificate w/seal), Nfld., 1919C, nickel, MS-63. If the buyer cut this coin out and re-submitted back to I.C.C.S., I would speculate a minimum MS-64 grade and a re-submission to P.C.G.S. would net a minimum MS-65. See eBay Item Glenn
