1967Canadapenny Pillar of the Community United States 965 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 1:58 pm I have quite a few different coins with me at all times so I can show people and usually people are quite impressed. Most people have never seen a real silver dollar before so when I show them one, they are really intrigued. I think my 1993 canadian silver dollar, and my 1943 s Wheat penny get the most attention out of all of the coins I show people. The canadian silver dollar is especially funny because it reinforces the canadian/hockey stereotype, One notable instance is when my spanish teacher decided she would flip a coin to see which student would give their report first, but she didn't have a coin. I promptly volunteered my silver doller, and my spanish teacher looked at it and started laughing hysterically she was like "Wow that's so canadian",(apparently she had been an exchange student there), After which there was a problem as the teacher could not decide which side was heads and which side was tails. Eventually, it was decided that the hockey players was heads and that the queen was tails, (which doesn't make any sense to me but anywho) It was really funny and it sidetracked the teacher for five minutes which meant I could give my prepared-at-the-last-minute report next week Pocket pieces are very very cool Report this Post to the Staff
Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 2:34 pm I hate stereotypes... I've always been given somewhat stereotypical nicknames... and it is always annoying. Always good to find a way so you have more time for a project... Especially if it is last minute (I'm a star student, and not a procrastinator, but I've been given too many projects in one week and have been glad that the teachers are delayed as none have the time to finish them all and have to chose which projects to finish) I really should get a pocket piece, but haven't found a coin that I want to keep in my pocket all the time. I'm writing this in school.... Sitting through a description of a project I finished Edited by Windchild 01/17/2013 2:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 3:26 pm Awesome coin! Thanks for sharing. What coin is that? A commemorative or is that issued regularly? I know nothing about Canadian currency... Report this Post to the Staff

I know nothing about Canadian currency... Yeah 'tis a commemorative coin, every year since 1971, canada has issued at least one different commemorative silver dollar design. From 71 to 91 they were 50% ag with a 36mm diameter, and 92 to the present they have been issued in sterling ag with the same diameter, a few years they issued special .999 fine silver dollars, but those have super low mintages and are generally quite expensive. So yeah, that coin is specific to 1993 but the coin is part of a pretty long series. EDITED to add: I'm glad you like the coin , if your interested canada issued another hockey themed silver dollar in 1997 in addition to this one.

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 12:48 am I carry a silver Ike as a pocket piece, but folded up in a handkerchief. It has accumulated significant toning, without much in the way of wear. Report this Post to the Staff

Not Mint to Be Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 12:03 pm That's wearing pretty good. Looks like you managed to get a ding in it too. :( Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 12:29 pm Yep, sure did... I remember exactly when it happened too. Easter last year, my niece was holding the coin and running around excited. She dropped it in the parking lot of a restaurant and I picked it up and saw the ding. Regardless, little things like that are what makes these coins cool. I can look at the coin and remember different things that it's been through! Maybe one day the ding will wear off.
