markjudge New Member Canada 39 Posts	Posted 04/14/2006 8:50 pm Hi Everyone, Thanks for the help with my 1 cent question earlier. I'm new here, have been a closet collector for years. Started when I found an old 1941 Newfoundland penny in my change. Historical value of Newfoundland (my home province) coins is worth more to me than the actual value. I've ordered a copy of the 2006 Charlton and I'm patiently waiting on it's arrival. Until it gets here... can anyone suggest some of the better peices of the Newfoundland decimal set? I've been doing some research and have found very few if any distinguishing features of particular pieces or years. Cheers Mark Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 04/15/2006 12:12 am I don't have one , but the little gold $2 (1865-1888) stands out to me. No-one else in North America was issuing anything like them at the time, and India and the Australian colonies were the only other parts of the British Empire issuing gold. Most are "common dates" and, according to Krause, fairly cheap (US$150 or so in VF) but 1880 is the key, and seems to be the most sought-after Newfoundland coin. There's even an extremely rare 1880/70 overdate to look for. I find the design interesting, too - a triple-denomination: 2 dollars, 200 cents and 100 pence. As I said, I don't have one, so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and edit my wantlist to include it... Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
