Canadian Beaver Hunter Valued Member Canada 60 Posts	Posted 11/12/2012 08:44 am I recently came across an unopened $100.00 bag of Canadian 1963 nickels. It is in good shape with no musty smells of sitting in a basement for all these years. It still has the original tag and lead seal. I am tempted to open it but feel it may have more value the way it is. It been a long time since I seen a coin bag. Report this Post to the Staff

glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 11/12/2012 12:09 pm Neat find, I'd like to just open it and smell the air from 1963 that's still trapped in it, LOL! On a serious note, you may find some MS-65/66's, however, take care not shakin' the bag too much. Remember, each shake of the bag results in the proverbial "bag marks in the fields" comment. Good Luck, Glenn Report this Post to the Staff

EY_Pep Valued Member Canada 123 Posts	Posted 11/14/2012 4:10 pm Sorry...what's a "grease filled"? Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian Beaver Hunter Valued Member Canada 60 Posts	Posted 11/14/2012 5:22 pm some call it the bald beaver or the hairless beaver, some say it's an over polished die and the rest say the lack of hair is from grease left on the die. What do you think of this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
