Just had a thought Post a Canadian cent 1925 Cent - I think it is a better date (not in perfect shape, but good for a foreign coin bin find)   |

One of my favorite US half dollar commemoratives. I got this one at a coin show a couple weeks back for half of book because of the dark spots on the reverse, but still I feel this is a beautiful coin.  |

I did think it was a little unusual that triggersmob has been posting a lot of cool world coins .. and then posted a Lincoln cents .. of course another cool coin. It did give me the idea of posting the Canadian cent. I can post gold later  I forgot all about my stone mountain ... I need to add some commemorative half dollars to my post folder. |

1925 is another year I have so many it's hard to pick'n'choose. Since choice one (Stone Mtn.) has already been shown, I'll go with this darksider, containing IMO one of the all time great scenic images on a coin. Makes one feel like they are sitting in a Land Rover on the savanna with a telephoto lens poking out the window. These are -low- grade silver. Moderate circulation turns them ugly in no time, but in XF or better they are stunning. 1925 (BRITISH) EAST AFRICA ONE SHILLING; 0.250 silver; ~28mm; mintage= 28.4 mil. :   |

Yes, 1925 is the rarest date of Canadian small cents - yours is definitely pushing the $40 mark. Very nice find...  Austria, 1 schilling, 1925 From my date-set of schillings. Soon, of course, Austria will unify with Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and many more as rampant ethnic nationalism extinguishes itself to form a mighty empire that will last for centuries and we'll switch to the Austro-Hungarian corona, then the gulden, then the thaler... because history is weird in reverse. |

History of the British Empire isn't my strong point of knowledge but I'm willing to bet, given the attention to detail manifested by so many numismatically inclined folks, that 'someone, somewhere' has already answered that question and written a paper about it. The so-named shilling shown above is noticeably larger than the standard British version of 23.5mm, perhaps to make up for the poor precious metal ratio. So it really shouldn't count in a tally if consistency of size matters. But to address the original question.. the answer to any question involving an unknown quantity, or indeterminate number, is, of course, 'forty-two'.   |
