to the site, all Canadian coins 1967 and lower will have silver in them except the penny + Nickle making them worth hanging on to I should add that some 1968 10 + 25 cent coins also have some silver in them.
I was going to try and make the convention but never worked out for me, but I had 28 lots in the auction mostly varieties all sold but 3 so I was pretty happy about that.
It would be a real treat to have the RCNA convention in Vancouver again, even Calgary or Edmonton would be great they are fairly close for travel. I would love to attend one back East as well but like Pacificoin mentions the cost is the same going East from the West. Flights, hotel, meals + entertainment make it expensive for anyone from the West
I have to agree with the group and also don't think it would grade as high with other top grading companies. I have never really had good luck with NGC graded Canadian coins I prefer other companies
I feel for people selling on e-bay even as a buyer its getting crazy taxes, Global shipping ups the price of said coin making them un appealing to buy. e-bay is like a flee market now a lot of low end coins, but still not bad for varieties in what I collect. Good luck to all who deal with e-bay
I think John1 means is 3 pictures is lots to answer your questions on this coin Reverse, Obverse and the Harp area. If others ask for more than you could show if desired.
The Haxby site pretty much has it all for I.D. of a 1859 large cent coin, but do like Okie said if you have no die cracks doubling of letters or numbers, then look at leaf 2, 7, 9 to help put it in the right group. Some coins take a long time to I.D. posting good pictures helps the forum members help with I.D. of coin
Anyone looking for a 1858 full vine + leaf RCNA action house has one in AU-50 coming up in July, not an easy coin to find in higher grades. Happy Hunting
