Yes.  The "God our Trust" was simular to the actual piece issued.  |

We bought that one last year in a Bowers auction. Loved it! Somedays I hate to sell these beauties, but until I figure out a way to live for free, they must go  |

Sorry back then there was NO MS system or numbers at all. The old system was used and Catman was the only individual in the nation to have a complete set. Fine, very fine, extremely fine and almost uncirculated but believe me when I say all were circulated!

I actually once found a 2 cent piece at work while once again disassmbling the coin counter when it jammed. It's not the prettiest coin, but it's gotta be one of my cooler finds! I displayed it on my keyboard at my teller station for a while, I got all sorts of comments on it- "Is that Canadian?" came up a lot. I get annoyed when the coin machine breaks down, but there's usually something good in it for me when I take it apart!

Nah, Catman still goes by the old grading system. I guess one might say he can grade by smell if need be? Nothing quite like high grade dino dung to up the value of a collection! He has adapted well through the years so his collection is probably stored all over Nevada!!!

Crystalk,
You are right.. I still have the set too. I put it together in the late 1960's in VF to AU. It hasn't left my sight yet. I guess that's what I get for being able to remember when Sputnik was lanuched in space, (LOL)

I wondered when you were going to weigh in on this matter Catman. Glad to hear you still have the collection. I am surprised it is not a "registry set" yet as you got to be #1! Do hate it that you had to go and mention "Sputnik" as I remember also and now you have me feeling old again! Funny thing about old Sputnik as that little piece of technology literally scared the crap out of a lot of people didn't it? Guess we must have caught up?
