wrekkdd ... Do you belong to the Hamilton Coin Club and, if so, have you been to any meetings? I am/was a Charter member, but no meetings since Covid.

I didn't know there was a club in Hamilton, I just recently got into coins because of covid. Mostly coin roll hunting so far. Though iv cleared out the customer rolls around my work lol. Picked up a machine wrapped roll thinking maybe some good set coins but it is just a whole roll of uncirculated 2020 quarters. I went through them I found one with damage from a coin dropping on it at the mint I assume but it's tiny compared to the picture of the other quarter I posted about. Most of them though are brilliant uncirculated I think. I'll research the coin club hwre

It meets on the 1st Monday of every month at 7PM at the church. Here is an article from when it was formed:

Back in the 70s and 80s traveling throughout Canada there were a couple times I had to inform tellers that, yes, Canada did make .50 coins! It was very hard to get halves or dollar coins back then.

Well, for a long time the 50 cent coins were used in parking meters because the meters thought that they were loonies. Then, about 3-4 years ago, the meters were upgraded so that no longer worked.

I think 50 c is a good denomination for the 21st c. Time to bring them back! I propose the 1870 design with QEII instead of Vic I on the obverse.....

I bought about 20 50¢ pieces all post 1996 from the bank, they are all the same design though. Was hoping to get a missing s but I just found the missing a and I one. Not very rare though.

I regularly buy pre Loonie dollars and 50 cent coins from Canadian banks. You can't order them but they are happy to sell any that get turned in. Very very rarely have I found silver but one time there were a bunch of 50% silver commemorative $1 from the 1970s. Lovely addition to my collection.
