wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 8:40 pm I notice that you have a Victory Nickel and a 1967 Centennial dollar. If you're interested, you can read about the symbolism of the interesting designs here: http://www.coinscan.com/des/1943d.html http://www.coinscan.com/des/1967d.html In fact if you were to google each and every coin.....that might take you a couple steps down the road to understanding the fascination behind why people become coin collectors.

labrescuens New Member Canada 9 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 8:56 pm That's a fantastic idea. I've never collected coins so didn't really think to look up the meanings behind them :) Report this Post to the Staff
darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2428 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 9:03 pm Is it just me or does the 1963 penny look like it was struck on a silver planchet? Report this Post to the Staff
labrescuens New Member Canada 9 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 9:24 pm That penny is silver looking. I just thought someone tried to clean it and messed it up. Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 9:30 pm surprised no one noticed that Darryl, good eye. I looked over a friend's inherited collection recently and found a similar penny but I could see where the electroplating experiment went wrong and the copper was coming up from underneath. I've also heard that mercury was used for these purposes so be very careful handling that coin until you know for sure what it is. better pics of that cent would be great, it's very interesting. A weight would give you a great idea as to what it is made of Report this Post to the Staff
XWLCoins Valued Member Canada 320 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 11:19 pm Those 1929 cents could hold some value. Check out Coinsandcanada sie. There's a variety known as the High 9. I see you have 2 full rolls of them. In average circulated condition they sell for $25 each on ebay. The higher the grade the better the money. AU would be $100+. Open em up and have a look. I have purchased rolls of 1929 In the past ( before the high 9 was well known) and I get an average of 3 high 9 varieties per roll. That being said, with your 2 rolls there, the high 9s that are most likely in there has a ebay value of $150. ++ Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 12:28 am Chances are, none of the American coins are worth more than face except the Buffalo nickel (bottom right) which may be worth $0.20-$0.50. What's the date on it? If it's an uncommon date it could be more. Other than that, you have $5.75 to spend in the states. IMO, the money is all in the Canadian coins. It's just too bad your father didn't save a silver dollar from his birth year. Very nice coins, and to CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
