headlessone Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 08/13/2017 9:57 pm Education for me, as well...I won't even say what I thought the fish was. (salmon)But I never had one in my hand, either. That is until about the 7th or 8th of last month. No kidding here: I got the '67 dime in my change from the grocery store. It was a great belated Canada Day memento. Also, thank=you for the above exchanges regarding the similarities and differences to originals/animals. Eye opening. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/13/2017 10:13 pm The 1967 looks best to me. I have a $20 whitetail with bucks fighting and I bet that it is the same engraver. I don't like it as much as I'd want to, I think it looks very unnatural and bothers me a bit. Edited by TNG 08/13/2017 10:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 08/14/2017 11:19 am I thought the " rabbit" was actually a Snowshoe Hare? Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 08/14/2017 12:08 pm @ace - I believe you are correct on that one also. From my personal experience, and I grew up close to the border, the snowshoe hare was not something I saw as readily associated with Canada - Northern US states also have them and so I tend to just incorrectly lump them all into "rabbit" when talking about them. I also don't recall ever encountering anything special about any certain type of dove with Canada - I guess I need some research. I know - there are also beavers all over the US. But us Southerners cross the border, you cannot go any distance at all before there is some reference to Canada involving a beaver and/or moose (which is why I wonder if people not familiar with wildlife call the caribou a moose when they see it on the normal quarters?). Funny that after all these years - I was in first grade when these came out and I thought they were really great - I never thought to question the explanations from back then. As I grew older, I never ran into anything contrary - and now my CCF family members teach me the facts - always great to learn!

I must confess, when these came out I was 9, for years I thought the 1 cent was a seagull, 5 cent a rabbit, 10 cent was just a fish to me and the quarter was a cougar. ETA: getting back OT, to me all the original 1867-1967 coins win Edited by McNickel 08/14/2017 4:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 08/14/2017 9:57 pm @TheNickelGuy This is a beautiful medal - but fantasy yes. The only place you see whitetail racks that big is hanging on the wall in the Nebraska Cabelos store (I think this was the one) that has a "museum"of record large whitetail deer mounts from all over.
