She's too young in the first coin to be a new pence , I'm thinking thats a sixpence.
The second coin is either a 5p or a 10p depending on size , cant see scale in picture.

It would be the same for the UK Kurt , way I'm thinking is the same poster has loads of other British coinage on display , no reason to think these wouldnt be British too.
I reckon an old sixpence and a new 10p the more I look , its been a year and a half sice I last used one

Well...education is a great thing , one look told me you guys are right , they are both Canadian.

I won't comment on the values, I'll let someone else tackle that.
On another note, I could 'wring' the individuals neck who scratched that 10 cent up like that.

Hi,
Your 10c is worth $0.72 in silver content.
But of course, both are worth more in sentimental value.

fond memories of upkeep costs on their sailboat?

I can't tell for sure, but the cent appears to be a 1953, NSF. The date is too rough to be sure, but if it is 1953, the OBV diagnostic indicates NSF no SShoulder fold. Kurt, youur eyes are better than mine, what say you?

Dick, I thought the obverse details were to rough to make a call.
In any case, both the NSF and SF versions for this year are relatively common in this grade. The premium is on SF versions in MS grades. The value is in the memories

History- 1953- First coinage of Elizabeth II. The No Shoulder Fold 1 cent design was slightly changed to lower the height of the engraving. The newer design had Shoulder Straps on the dress. The p[ortrait design was by (English) designer Mary Gillick, used 1953-1964 in Canada. The dime design was by Arnold Machin (English) and was used in Canada from 1965-1989. The maple leaf design was first used in 1937, and still is used. It shopws an impossible leaf, so I have been told. Maple leafs are always on a single stem. It is by (English) G.E. Kruger-Grey. The boat is the Bluenose, finally acknowledged as such by the RCMint a few years ago. This schooner saled from Canada to the West Indies, and was involved in a series of races, which it won. The design also was used from 1937. It is by Emanuel Hahn (English).

Hello coinsnpaper;

I was always told (back as far as the 1960's) that it was the Bluenose on the 10 cent piece. She was a working fishing schooner and during the 20's and 30's, won races for 18 years running against many competitors for the Fishermans Trophy which was established after the America's Cup was cancelled because a 23 knot wind was too strong for the sissy yachts.

I too have been told that the leaf is not natural, but if you look at a maple twig, it can have 2 or more leaves at or near the tip of the branch, and I think that's what is represented on the 1 cent.

Just my 2 cents worth.
