I'm a fan of the George V cents. They are affordable and nice looking coins.

1935 and 1936 Silver dollars, I LOVE the look of King George V looking to the left. I might start a collection from MS-60 - MS-65
MS - 60
MS - 62
MS - 63
MS - 64
MS - 65
but I mainly love all George V, I think they're amazing coins!

I would have picked Canadian Silver dollars 1935-67 if it was a choice.  |

Couldn't vote, but I am building a type set of ALL silver 50 Cents that circulated (Victorian, Edwardian, George V, George V1, and Elizabethan). Trying for F or better for earlier years, VF or better for later years.
Already have a short type set of base metal nickels and silver dollars to 1967. Not keen on collecting after that date.

So far, no love for the 10-cent pieces...

 I must like swimming against the current, collectors/dealers will say that dimes and fishscale nickles are the least collected/liked demoninations/series, for me however, they are my favourites! (perhaps due to their small size?) Glenn  |

I have the same feeling... The few Canadian coins I have bought were either dimes or fishscales.

I voted for the Edwardian Large cents. My real passion is NF fishscales.

my top 3 favorite sets are (in no particular order):
1. 5ยข nickels 1922-1936
2. silver dollars 1935-1967
3. complete type set 1858-1967
only one of the options approximated what I like, so I chose it.

I like the Victorian large cents. Nice and shiny and red. (as you already saw)

I voted for the Edwardian Halves, being my favorite amongst the available choices. But if the 1935-1967 Voyageurs dollars were valid options, all of them would have been my choice. What am I saying...I love them all  |

@ Glenzy...did I mention that I also collect pictures of Sir Robert Borden (the brown ones) and pictures of MacKenzie King (the red ones) I do have room to negotiate on the 1893 when you're ready. |
