I really like all these Canadian coins. Couldn't take it anymore. My first. You are officially in trouble fsrdavis59, betcha can't have just one. Looks like a nice cameo on that '59 dime. Got a nice toner the other day, posted in the eye candy thread, funny I got a nice shot in cloudy daylight. This coin came with original black clamshell and sponge to keep coin in place.

Nice one SilverDon.
You sure come up with some nice toners.
Must be the salt air out there on the coast.

Thanks JimmyD, sure are fun and inexpensive to collect.
Sponge still in contact with the coin, lots of these around
and I am a sucker for a nice toner.

The 1971 dollars were not issued in plastic, therefore they are often found toned. Still excellent, of course.

Yes, '71, '72, '73 were sold raw with plastic holder and no airtite capsule. I have a few collected, here is a group shot, not including the one above.    |

"2006 Elizabeth penny very rare identity the error?"
Is that the elusive 2006 no "P" magnetic?

Here's a nice little rainbow toned one. Reverse doesn't look too shiny as I didn't take it through the plastic and lighting wasn't optimal. The white background might have also played into making it look somewhat dull. Still a nice coin.   |

This is one of my favorite coins. Along with the toning these coins get over time, the reverse, similar to the older cdn 50 cent pieces is amazing and compliments so well the colors I think.

A little xmas present to myself, Tobias D. Seaman ordered these as a business card. He rejected them due to the poor workmanship, so the "U" was added to the die to create the name DUSEAMAN and they were subsequently released into the wilds of Canada. These were crudely struck on poor planchets & the huge die cracks are seen on all examples (*that I have ever seen). This is actually a well struck, fairly high grade, for his type.  Edited by Wade

Nice one Wade!
About what years were these struck?
If they were used as tokens, what value did they circulate at?
The reverse certainly looks American.

Picked this 1990 $20.00 Avro Lancaster off ebay for less than issue price. Don't often buy NCLT coins but this is one I wanted but didn't want to pay the premium some sellers were asking.  |

Those clamshell cases really did well for the toning market. I have purchased a few of those.

DBM Yes they were initially for US issue (Belleville NJ) & meant to act as a half penny token. Due to the thistle design on the obverse, consensus is that they were in the 1837-38 range - similar to the other more widely accepted thislte/bas Canada tokens. Despite the "US" eagle it is still one of my favorite designs, along with the (also) crudely made "Rebellion" un sou (there's enough maple leafs in that one to balance it out!) that I have also recently upgraded.

I love this token DBM. In fact I was watching 3 at one time on ebay while trying to find a higher grade than those offered but also at a reasonable price. They seem to go for a pretty penny. :) |
