DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 7:51 pm Can it be that only a handful of us collect the 5 cent silvers..?... ...or is everyone else just very shy.. Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 09:22 am Thanks viper...Very happy to see these..makes you want to cry at the same time though.. Why didn't they grind an 1901 or something else....and not the 84.. Now where is Zonad when we need his coin and input.. Here's my 84.. If you look at the reverse leaves on both sides near the middle, there is a lot of fine leaf detail although the 84 dies were still used to strike coins well past there normal usage.. when compared to many the other years. Any feedback greatly appreciated here.. I look at the eyelid for flatness which might indicate wear. This eyelid is in near perfect shape. The hair in front and below the ear is often incomplete on many of these fine little silvers. This could be caused by the state of the die or quality of the strike..IMHO . . .

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 1:13 pm viper and mine are the "near 4" variety and it's well explained in the 2010 Charlton on p.306. ..whereas Dredge and Coin Scavenger's 84's are the "far 4" variety which is explained on p.308.. Great and very tough to find.. Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 2:26 pm What you call "nice"...I will call amazing.. The best of the best ..of the Far 84....Thanks Mike.. Do you have any opinions or ideas as to why the 84's are so tough and often seen as a poor or weak strike.. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 2:29 pm I believe that it was a late,small rush order and The Royal Mint cared little about coinage for Canada. Tough coins in F12 or better. Report this Post to the Staff
viper Pillar of the Community Canada 638 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 07:05 am Here are the 1885's First one is a Large 5, #2 and #3 both look like 5 over 5's now I don't know? There not in the 64th Edition of Chartlon... Large Date Small Date and this one looks like a re-punch 5? If you look at the top of the 5 you can see the tip of another 5 sticking out? This one also looks like a 5 over 5? Edited by viper 09/28/2014 07:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
