1958 Canada Dollar Grade

One of my favorite dollars!

MS-63

Also has a slight MAD on the obverse

I also have a soft spot for this type - one of this type was my first silver coin, given to me by my father, who explained that his father told him to keep one, as it was a recession year, and people would be spending rather than keeping them!

These are (as perhaps many people followed the same line of though as above) generally available in high grades. This example, although with above average luster, is unfortunately weakly struck on the reverse, and the portrait is pretty bag-marked. I would say in the MS-62-63 range, as per above.

I'm in at MS62

here is a little story about the 1958 TotemPole British Columbia Dollar
this goes back to when Silver Dollars retailed for about $ 12-14.
a Dealer in Nanaimo and Victoria BC Bought these for $ 8-10 or even less.
then dipped them so they looked pretty shiny. he then sold them to Foreign tourists for $ 25 during the summer months (mainly cruise ship passengers when they stopped for a day). he was doing some very serious business and was always looking for 58's.
