Well yes you are just like any country. For example the 1916d is a famous American key date with about 500,000 mintage and it trends for over $500 in G4. A Canadian 1935 dime has a similar mintage of 384,056 and yet it only trends for $10 in VG8. This is because for the time period American coins were being produced in larger quantities for a larger population while Canada's were being produced in smaller quantities for a smaller population. And now there arn't enough 1916d's to go around for the large population of collectors in the US. Just look at early mintages of American cents compared to the billions that are produced today. Sorry if that isn't very clear.

Nathan, Your explanation is clear enough. However, there is also the point of what coins are most appealing (=desireable) to collectors. Most US collectors covet the Mercury dime series. In Canada, the coins of Queen Victoria are and remain popular. (Am I right?) Beyond the mintage, popularity comes into play. Survival of particular coins also comes into play. There must be many more halves in poor and almost good condition compared to higher grade circulated examples. As in the US, these Vickie halves represented real purchasing power when they circulated. Thank you for letting a Yankee bend your ear. |

Time in Tonga
Google "Tonga time" and it pops up first.
The people of Tonga, very religious, wanted to be the first in the world to offer morning prayers. So they set up a time zone unique to them. It is half an hour ahead of every other zone.
