Commemorative nickelsAlthough not strictly a commemorative,
Hi again . This was a great bit of history I learned with my new lot of coins."the "Victory nickel", struck from 1943 to 1945, was the first non-standard circulating Canadian coin other than commemorative dollars; the reverse features a flaming torch and a large V that stands for both Victory and the coin's denomination. The rim denticles were replaced by the phrase "We win when we work willingly" in Morse Code. This design was re-used in 2005 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of V-E Day.[4] Almost uniquely in the history of Canadian coinage, the reverse was engraved to scale by Thomas Shingles; most coin designs are engraved at a much larger scale and reduced with a pantograph."As well I have several 5 cent or nickle Canadian coins with a bug tail and water levels that differ. I am very slow and more than likely missed these posts please bear with my I am just a bit too excited with these finds. Cfarley

-Charlsefarley-
---Never make the assumption that we all know everything! I just learnt something from you about the Victory nickel the fact that the border was in Morse code.
---I've been collecting for years and likely heard that, but it was forgotten and a wonder, thanks!
---Surely others will have learnt to.
