These are some more of the coins I picked up in San Fran. I know very little about Canadian coins, but I like all of these, especially the big "V" nickel. LOL

Looking at the preview, it seems like my scanner is picking up a bunch of random shiny spots that I can not see on the coins themselves.

You'll enjoy the "V" nickle even more when you learn a little more about it. The V stands for both the "5" and for "Victory" during WWII. Around the very edge of the coin, on the reverse, is morse code spelled out for "victory". I like them as well.

Yea these coins are highly worn, but always interesting just the same.
The 1920 one cent was the first year they brought out the small cent.
In fact in that year they also released the last large cent.

the morse code on the reverse says:

"WE WIN WHEN WE WORK WILLINGLY"
