1858 Twenty Cents

Thanks, found it. In my 2009 Charltons its on page 12. Listed at a more reasonable $35. You are probably correct about the cleaning. It looks too pristine for its age.

Would you know what its made of? It feels too light for silver.

Didn't know about the "Province of Canada" section. Also had my Queen Vic Large Cents. What is the history that changed the Province of Canada into the Dominion?

I guess I didn't word my question correctly. If the Dominion of Canada was formed in 1867 why were Province of Canada coins still minted into the 20th Century?

Stunet, it's found on page 42 of both the 2009 and 2010 volume 1 guides. If it were MS-60, the book value is listed at $1100, but I don't believe it to be uncirculated. As far as "Province of Canada" coins, 1858 was the only year, but some provinces didn't join the dominion until much later than 1867. Newfoundland, for example, didn't join until 1949, hence the 1949 Canada Newfoundland dollar, and separate Newfoundland currency being issued up until 1947.

Oh I see, I just assumed you were referencing the spiral-bound version. I'm also looking forward to the 2011 issue. Looks like it will be both books this time though, I was surprised how many times I had to dig out the 2009 this year for NCLT information.
