orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 5:54 pm Hi all, I just bought this at auction. It is my first coin of Newfoundland. If I like it when it arrives I just might collect the series...I find them interesting for the 3 denominations shown on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 8:39 pm Please compare this image to your image. The design on the left in both do not reach the denticles. The 8's match. The "O" of one also shows same missing bottom. The image I provide is counterfeit. Edited by nickelsguy 07/28/2018 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
