henryjamesbuttons Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 11/07/2012 5:48 pm Hello all. While on vacation in Canada a few weeks back I picked up some coins of course! I'm from the U.S. and have always collected the CA coins I receive in change. This was the first time I sought out CA coins. Of course I got loonies and toonies and nickles. Then I sought out a coin shop and picked up this gorgeous 1951 silver dollar. It has some splotchy toning on the obverse which I like. Just a great shiny uncleaned coin. I have a new appreciation and passion for CA coins now and can't wait to begin this new chapter in collecting! Also, Halifax and St John are AWESOME cities! Report this Post to the Staff

henryjamesbuttons Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 11/07/2012 6:05 pm Yes it was MUCH better than a t-shirt! I really like the modern "poppy" $1 coins with the colored poppys. I also really like CA large cents from the late 1800's/early 1900's. I'm always thrilled to find a fairly inexpensive line of coins that I really love! Report this Post to the Staff
