piscesdave Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 04/05/2015 10:40 pm Happy Easter all , I was at my mom's for Easter and while chatting with her the conversation turned to my coin collecting and to my surprise my mom gave me a box of coins that my dad had . He was in Europe for WWII and many of the coins are from Europe and also from Jamaica , Cuba , Australia and some from Canada here are some photos of the lot .I apologize for the poor quality of the photos .

Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 04/05/2015 11:08 pm I like the centennial medal and mackerel dime/ hare nickel. I have a little centennial collection on the side. You fill any holes with your haul? Report this Post to the Staff

piscesdave Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 08:22 am Harmonica , I was able to fill in 5 holes in my dollar slots and the 1959 dollar is my birth year and so that was a real treat . I was surprised at how much larger that dollar was in size compared to the others . NumisRob , the war time coins I find interesting is the German coins the one with the swastika is most interesting and the 1851 5 Francs also . To think my mother had these all this time just sitting there to be discovered again amazing how things come about . Report this Post to the Staff

uncle bob Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 10:53 am Please help a new guy with the larger 1959 dollar. What's the story behind that? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21601 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 11:19 am The 1959 Silver Dollar is not larger. That is the standard size (36.06mm) for all silver dollars issued between 1935 and 1967. When they switched to the nickel dollars issued from 1968 to 1986, they reduced the size (32.13mm) to help get better striking on the hard nickel blanks.
