ATTENTION PLEASE

I have lost my list of which of you I have sent coins to and who I haven't. I think the dog ate it!

Again, I humbly apologize for my short comings, but with your help we will get through this.

Please, if by now you haven't received your Canadian Nickels, PM me your name and address so I know who I haven't send coins to.

Thank you for your patience and understanding with this old
forgetful fr.......ah....stinker.

Okiecoiner..I love your handle, oops, I mean, I mean, darn it, moniker?.ah, avatar!

Sometimes (well, most of the time) getting old just downright sucks - sure ain't for wimps! As you mentioned: Ills & pains! If it weren't for pains I think I wouldn't know that I was alive!

Holy cow, 1100 1859 large cents!!! Without looking in the book, why 1859's? Man, it would take me weeks just to examine them.all said, Congratulations!!!!!

Gardening, now you're about to make me cry - I always had a Hugh productive garden- fed the neighborhood and even beyond. One of my zucchinis ended up 150 miles away, taken there by a gal I gave a bunch to who took them there to pass out to friends! I haven't been able to garden for over 6 years ago now.

You mentioned that you sold, via a friend, thousands of coins on Facebook - how did that go, price wise? I've only ever used ebay with about the same amount of coins - way back when, when I was about 27 years old I stumbled upon a once in a life time purchase of approximately 22,000 coins, tokens, medals, you name it, for only $2,250.00!

I've made well over $48K off that and still going! If you'd like to hear the story of how and what the contents were, just let me know.

Well, I've chewed your ear off enough for now.

Take care.

Jomic .... If you have any secret desire to get into varieties, Canada Victoria large cents is where to start. To begin Canadian coinages, The Royal Mint in London started by minting 9 million1859 large cents, a followup to approx a million 1858's. They were minted using the same machinery/sizings as the Brit half penny, which was copper. The Canadian cents were bronze and 1/3 thinner. As such, dies broke almost immediately, with few lasting 40,000 strikes and some less than 100. Just the master-matrix-punch evolution required to produce the working dies ate away at the design elements and requiring much hand-punching once the dies were "ready". The reverse of the coin had very intricate design of leaves, stems and vines, so many "punches" had broken/chipped design elements unseen until they showed up on the dies.

Since the dies lasted very little time, especially the reverse dies, there are over 230 different die marriages to make the 9 million 1859 coins, with all the errors & varieties, making searches very interesting. There was much handpunching of design elements required as the dies crumbled daily. There are many letters and numbers where you can clearly see 3-4 handpunches to correct the anomalies. That said, even my 1100 1859's only found about 150 of the 230 marriages and I had looked at maybe 10,000 more coins at local shows in the Toronto area. It was a great pastime. Anyway, my friend selling on a Facebook group turned out very well for both of us. I recommend it highly.
