rogers Valued Member Canada 122 Posts	Posted 01/27/2009 11:12 pm Are multiples of the new loonies (Loon & Rings, Terry Fox, Flying Loon & Rings, Splashdown Loon) worth keeping, or should I just keep the best one I find of the bunch? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 01/27/2009 11:34 pm that may be just a personal choice as to how much you like them. I keep all good condition loonies I find from any year. I love the terry fox ones so I keep all of those even in terrible shape. I like them all really. I dont really know if they appreciate in value any but I love them so I keep them. it really is up to you how many loonies you want hanging around your house. lol Report this Post to the Staff
rogers Valued Member Canada 122 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 10:46 am lol, Thanks - I probably have around 10 right now, not including a bunch of token dollars. I guess I'll just keep the best of them unless I really like the design - like the Terry Fox, and Splashing Loon. Report this Post to the Staff

IBGolden Pillar of the Community Canada 598 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 1:10 pm Just a point of possible interest. I believe that there are 4 varieties of the Terry Fox dollar... all are variations of the tree(s) and grass in the background on the reverse. edit... well, at least I remembered there were varities without me book!... VVV shows what I know about circulation VVV ... Edited by IBGolden 01/28/2009 6:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mkb Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 4:45 pm These are the Terry Fox coins I am aware of: 1. TF (Regular) 2. TF Missing Grass 3. TF Dot (by D in D•G) 4. TF Chin Wart (on QE) 5. TF Chin Wart, Missing Stones 6. TF Hairy Chin Wart 7. TF Copper Tone Item 7 is quite rare (only 1 so far?). It seems to be along the lines of 1950's chrome 5c coins with missing chrome.
