Here's a section that is a sideline to those collecting British Commonwealth & pre-Confederation Canadian coinage.It is about the coins of Newfoundland,which was the only one of the colonies in what is now Canada to have their own gold coins - the famous $2 of 1865-88.There are some key dates in the Newfoundland coin series,especially the 1946C silver 5c. coin.
The Newfoundland coin series is a very difficult one to collect,not only because of the low mintage figures,but also because of the presence of varities such as in the portraits of Queen Victoria,& re-engraved dates,such as the 1940(C) 1 Cent.I don't know how one can tell the re-engraved dates from the normal dates of the same year.The normal 1940 1c. is listed quite low,whereas,the re-engraved date 1940 1c. is listed quite high.Some denominations in the Newfoundland coin series very seldom turn up at all,namely the silver 25c. of King George V & the gold $2.
