Hello all.
I used to be active in collecting (hoarding?) and just found the old containers of coins. I'm looking at slowly disposing of the majority of the coins.
Can anyone recommend a reputable dealer in the (western) GTA?

There's one coin I'm especially curious about. Its a 1943 nickel, almost copper in colour, and non-magnetic. Anyone have an idea if its worth anything?

I have one set of nickels running from 1922 to 1960 in pretty good shape and a bunch of loose stuff and few early 1900's stuff.

That nickel you have is made out of tombac, and not worth very much. Canadian nickel was needed during the second world war, so instead of minting nickels in nickel, they switched compositions.
