Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 09:24 am Thanks for bringing this coin to my attention. I just got a 'best offer' accepted by Colonial Acres and I am quite happy to add this little known gem to my collection. Pictures to follow upon it's arrival. Report this Post to the Staff

For awhile, I was contemplating a Jacques Cartier themed sub-collection -- I like explorers! -- and picked up one of these for it. I was going to post images of mine, but don't want to steal your thunder. I look forward to seeing yours when it arrives. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12266 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 10:55 am Very Nice! Glad you're happy with your new addition. IMO, John Mardon, the designer, did a good job with his somewhat stylized rendering of the ship. I remember my initial thoughts when I first saw the coin -- I noticed how the view-from-above perspective Mardon used allows the ship's main deck to be seen and that it was empty - no crew! I couldn't help but think "ghost ship!" Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

aghawk Valued Member Canada 343 Posts	Posted 02/09/2017 10:33 am Funny. I have no association or connection to sailing in any way shape or form - yet I seem to be drawn to these designs on coins - to the point where I am accumulating a small collection. Odd and interesting at the same time. Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12266 Posts	Posted 02/09/2017 11:08 am "Ships on coins" is among the most popular topical collecting areas. Within this general topic area, "sailing ships on coins" is particularly popular. Many collectors pursue a collection of world coins with depictions of ships - being drawn to such designs appears to be a very common "disease." Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!
