Stunet Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 06/20/2010 7:42 pm Has anyone seen anything like this? Apparently a Jeweler in Nelson, BC used to stamp this on their Dollars. Edited by Stunet 06/21/2010 11:40 am Report this Post to the Staff

coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 06/21/2010 08:23 am Joseph Oliva Patenaude was a jeweller and watchmaker who lived in Nelson, BC. He was one of the people who was instrumental in getting Canada a circulating silver dollar. He would cxountermark a number of dollar coins- up to 1000 a year, and give them out in change.

splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 06/21/2010 11:12 am Thanks for sharing this topic. I had never heard of these before, so I did some research and they do bear a pretty interesting story. I would also consider these coins defaced and wouldn't pay big bucks for it, but would definitely keep one if I came into possession of it simply for it's history in Canadian numismatics.

Stunet Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 06/21/2010 11:51 am Dang. I am getting old. When I did a search on the JOP yesterday I typed in JOB. Brainless. Found a really great article on them here: http://www.georgemanzcoins.com/cana...lverdol.html Usually, I write down the date purchased and the dealer name, but I have no record. Bought this JOP probably in the 80's for $37. It looks like they have changed their status from mutilated-refuse-to-be-shunned to important-historical-artifact-from-a-coin saint. Their value has escalated. Reason why? Each Dollar comes with a fascinating story. Report this Post to the Staff
