cookiecutter Valued Member Canada 292 Posts	Posted 11/10/2015 4:27 pm I found a Ferruginous Hawk specimen dollar in my change today. Some person must have broken up the set and thrown it into regular circulation. It's slightly dinged up, but in not too bad condition. I'm quite excited. Report this Post to the Staff

pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 11/10/2015 5:05 pm I wonder why the specimen coins have no real following? We pay up to 5X spot for silver coins, so metal content doesn't seem to matter. I find it a very curious matter. Report this Post to the Staff

cookiecutter Valued Member Canada 292 Posts	Posted 11/11/2015 10:14 am I've never found anything in circulation change beyond circulation change. Upon closer inspection, it has more dings than my eyes initially saw. Oh well. I'm still keeping it and still think it's a great find all things considered. I should have gone back to the store to see if they had any other coins of the set in their register. Report this Post to the Staff
Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 11/11/2015 12:05 pm In my experience, it's likely a gift to a child...who eventually needed some extra cash, and figured out how to open the case. (experience with my daughter and a Christmas set - she was 8 at the time) Report this Post to the Staff

In my experience they do have a following; it's just smaller than for circulation coins. However, the bird loonies and young wildlife toonies in particular keep their value much better than the modern silver NCLT. Report this Post to the Staff
