Not a lot of details there either, but looks like this is one of the Canadian Trade dollars. Were these things legal tender and actually circulated? |

Yes.. and some people really collect them Slur. Trade dollars like this were sometimes given out for different events and circulated as if they were dollars.. sometimes when I go to the banks and they give me a bag of nickel dollars I find one or two of these in there... I don't really like 'em so I will either not take 'em at the bank or I send 'em back when I visit the bank again. |

They're quite similar in size to nickel dollars, and with a face value of $1, I guess it's not hard for them to get mixed up. So these were legal tender only until a certain date, it looks like.
I saw several of these in my LCS's 3-for-$5 bin, lightly circulated, with all sorts of different designs. If anyone's looking for a certain design I might be able to help find it.

My most recent purchase cost me 74c CDN. Could I class this as a lowball coin? Seems strange that the edges are worn right down when there is still some detail showing in the middle. Coin is too dirty to get better pictures.   |

Ok, I haven't posted in a while. I've been a bit busy lately but here are my newest acquisitions. 1901 5 Cents, NGC MS-62:  1903 10 Cents (Key Date of the Series), PCGS AU-55:  Newfoundland 1888 10 Cents (Key date of the series and very rare in AU), NGC AU-details (seems problem-free to me, I think it will regrade at ICCS):  I have a few more coming in over the next week or two and I will post them when I get them. -zx |
