akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 03/11/2008 7:31 pm Hi, Most of the coins being shown are older then mine but bring up a question..... When did they start putting a HB on the bail of goods in the canoe? I may be missing it but don't see it on the coins posted here, but it is on both the '65 and '66 I have. Thanks, Glen Report this Post to the Staff

andre1621 Pillar of the Community Canada 868 Posts	Posted 03/11/2008 7:45 pm Hi Glen I have a collection of silver dollar from 1935 to date and as far as your HB it is printed on the 1935 also so must be commun marking for these years. This is my opinion Andre Report this Post to the Staff
akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 03/11/2008 8:04 pm Thanks Andre, I believe you've recently posted about a '45 you have and I don't see it on there. Do you know if that is a high wear area? Maybe that's why I don't see it all the time. You guys have me looking so much closer to the details of the coins since I've been on this site!

chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 03/11/2008 10:56 pm HB has been on all Voyageur dollars from the start in 1935. HB refers to the Hudsons Bay Company. For those that don't know, a voyageur is a travelling agent for a fur company. Report this Post to the Staff
