Nice find Matchbox ! was it the regular 1947 Canadian cent? cause there is 3 variety of it
Blunt 7, Maple leaf Blunt 7, maple leaf Pointed 7 .
For the 1870 5 cent simply WOW! what variety it is ? Wide Rims or Narrow Rims ? Can youu post a picture of that incredible found please? SilverMaple. here's a few scans for you. The first two are of the 1870 five cent piece I found on the floor of a warehouse in 1981, and the third is 1947 penny lurking in the roll. I hope you can see these scans well enough to give you the answers.    |

Thanks Matchbox for the pictures!  Its a beautiful 5 cent you got here, mintage of 2800000, 21 leafs reverse, the picture is a bit small but ill say its a 1870 NARROW RIMS cause I can see the distance between the rim Denticles and the leafs. In that Case you Have the Queen portrait :F2 The hair to the side of the ear has a faint 'S' curl to the braid.I can't clearly see cause picture is to small but I suposse it is as I can confirm it's a Narrow rims. If it were a Wide Rims the Denticles would have been closer to the leafs. Beautiful 5 Cents ! Don't forget to tell me if you sell it hahaha  For the 1947 canada cent, you have a Pointed 7 Near Maple Leaf (ML Pt 7). Nice find ! Edited by SilverMaple

No pictures or specifics, since the coins are at home and I'm not, but I did find a change-purse full of old Canadian coins from the 1930's. Oldest in odd change would be a Mercury dime and a Buffalo nickel. Can't remember the years for sure, but I believe the dime is 27. |

1860 Young Victoria bronze farthing - just last week. It looks almost like a Cdn. penny size. I was elated!
Also 1887 Victoria 10cent piece was the first old coin I found in change when I worked as cashier at Loblaws grocery store. Wish I could have kept all the neat change back then but was too broke back then.
Recently - best find Cdn. is 1935 5 cent piece in MS 63 (had it graded).

The better percentage of my collection in number,not value, I picked out of my vending route, probably 1000+ PCs. That would exclude bullion and foreign , mostly quarters,nickles,dimes some pennies from 1872 1c Indian head to numerous proof quarters from the 70s to 90s so many I started thinking the mint was dumping over stock or sub grade into circulation.I completed 90% of CDN/US sm cent
5c CDN 1922 to 2000/US Jefferson. CDN, 25C Edward to 2000,

I found a 1916 dime in change about a year back. That's the oldest I have ever gotten and it was from tobacco shop.

 I remember long before I started any interest in coin collecting, I was about 7 years of age and I found a strange silver coin in my change where I could not discern the date. Now that I know my Monarchs, I believe it was a a King Edward quarter, however, date unknown. (1902<?>1910) This was some 40+ years ago, so what I see in my head today maybe totally different than what I held in my hands back in the 1960's. Those days are certainly long gone. Now everything we buy is either slabbed or body bagged!  Glenn from Canada |

Just started collecting in April, have been buying penny and nickel rolls to start, so far the earliest I have found is a 1932 American wheatie.

Family friend found British George 111 shilling 1817, in F condition.
That was back in about 1960, and the coin at the time was still legal tender.
