Since then I have been taking up interest in coin collecting. I am definitely a novice and try to search the web for info all on these coins I have. **Recently I bought a few silver coins from a guy on Kijiji in Windsor, ON Canada and he also sold me a mixed bag of various old coins for $40. Many were 1920's to 1950's Canada and a few US coins. I found some very interesting coins but I have no clue whether they are of value or I know my Grand Father had sent some of his coins for grading in Toronto, ON. So long story already long... I found 5cent Canada coins. 2 near leaf and 3 far leaf. I will attach photos of the first coin now. Look's far leaf, flared I's, no shoulder fold, cude on letters N/T and looks to be a die crack? along bottom of neckline? This bag of coins looked nice and shiny and caught my eye.

You need to put just one coin with rev and obv in one thread then we know what we are looking at. Report this Post to the Staff

9cosmo New Member Canada 12 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 07:51 am yes this first coin I am still questioning is that called Cud on the "NT" in cents and what is the term for the neckline raised metal line? is that die crack? Thx I will post the other 2 coins later. Thx for all your help (: Report this Post to the Staff
