Very True, DBM => I just received by Torex invoice (tack-on another 5% HST to my quoted prices)  ... geeesh, at this rate I'm gonna have to go on a bottle-drive in order to pay my invoice! => but I'm still happy and excited about my purchases  |

Anyone want to bet a beer or a coffee that you will see that 1955 NSF cent in a future C&P auction?

stevex6,you got some nice items there for sure,I especially like the newf $2 and the 1893,be thankful you don't live in a province where you would have to add another 7,8 or 9%
While someone may have bought the '55 NSF at 80% of trends,the seller realized less than 60%,kinda makes you think twice about selling valuable coins at auction,too many hands in the cookie jar,and increasingly so.

Well, the up-side of living on the good ol' East Coast is => it seems like most of the good Maritime coins are still located in your backyard (you can buy them at the local coin shops!) ... I need the Huskies to pull their sleds to where I'm livin'  SIDE-NOTE => eventhough I grew-up in BC and I love it there! => lately, we're thinking of retiring on the "East" coast => it is sooo much more affordable (plus, don't tell my wife => but there seems to be a lot of coin-action out East compared to the west!?)  |

 Hey Steve, if ya ever make it out to the East Coast, please contact Me! I'm in a Province called New Brunswick. I was visiting my sister in Vancouver a few years ago and few Vancouverites have ever heard of N.B. The most asked question I was asked was,: "is it near Quebec?" I just said, "MAYBE"! You can buy a 5,000 sq ft. Mansion here for less than 1/2 million, there is virtually no crime, air is ultra clean, Best coins east 'o Toronto are here, finest National Parks and Beaches, and 0% stress! So what are Ya waiting for Dude ? Glenn  Edited by glenzy1

biggfredd => that's an awesome link! Well, I'm certain that I could find a toboggan, but there aren't any city-trains in our town ... well, not since my over-weight brother tried that trick a few years ago (*sigh*)  |

There's a pix floating around where they were bored back in the 1800s, so they took a couple of steam locomotives and a few cars, starting them a couple miles apart, throttles locked. When they hit, it formed an arch, and people were all around and under it.
If you tried that today, they'd have 15 fire trux, the EPA, and OSHA blocking off anything closer than a half mile.

That's so true! ... I think I can remember that photo (or at least one similar)
I currently work at an underground mine and we have soooo many daily safety talks and safety procedures that there is hardly enough time remaining in the day to mine nickel! (however, obviously it is a very good thing, because in the "old-days" the miners were asked to do some pretty crazy and dangerous tasks ... and apparently they didn't always survive to brag about it)
