border crossings
For those of you going down to the States from Canada or visa versa for coins or trinkets, the border agents on the Canada side are enforcing the tariffs. Whether coins are included or not, I don't know. I just know that the Canada agent for me at the border, coming back from the VA for medical in B...

Re: Pre 1967 Canadian Dollar coins
There might be someone on this site who buy them all in a chunk, or a good portion. See if he chimes in.

The photo is somewhat blurred, but I see wear in his hair. I'd say XF or so.

Re: 1996 2 dollar
There are folks that remove the core (it comes out without too much trouble) using heat and cold. Sometimes you see them with the core completely reversed. From the scratches by the "A" in Canada, it looks like he was having problems getting the core out or rotated. As stated above, the coin is stru...

New series on Vicky cents starting in CN Journal
Rob Turner is starting a series of articles on the Canadian large cents, with the Jan/Feb CN Journal. He frequently has valuable articles in there, but this starts the Vicky series. This first one is on the 1858 Dominion cents with great magnified images of the oddities to be found on them. The date...

Re: Grading opinions on Newfoundland 5 cent silver
Too much wear in the hair for AU. I think XF and the Newf Reverses were always struck softly or weak from what I heard

Re: Charlton Canadian Coin Catalogues
As soon as something hits the streets, whether coin site or coin book, that says something is scarce or hard to find, then coins come out of the woodwork and prices drop. It's all supply and demand.

Re: 1891 Canada large cent
I'd say XF40+ with some environmental damage (start of green on the bust and dark spot on the Rev.) In my old Trends, it shows $200 Cdn, but you couldn't sell it for that.

Re: 1891 Canada large cent
It's a SL/SD Obv 3. The creased chin will tell a 2 or 3 from a 1. Then look at the E's and the Obv 3 will have the long vertical crosshatch inside. Yours does not have the R/P'd or longer arms on the T, like some of the scarcer regular LL/LD ones have; they are normal. Nice coin.

Re: 1936 dot Canada penny
Your "dot" is in the wrong place, the wrong size and the wrong shape. Every year, there are 5-6 folks who thought that they found the pot of gold but find that they didn't. Usually they find that they are just die chips, rust pits, or manual addition. Yours looks like a small die chip or pit in the ...

Re: 2009 Nickel Die Rot
It looks like someone drove a chisel or a screwdriver through it, since it has one flat level section. I think a garage or play experiment it that was then buried to rust it up. Not even worth the 5 cents now.

Re: 1964 D, RPM American Nickel info
From the photos, I se nothing. Are you referring about a R/P'd mintmark? I don't see it, maybe just a tired die and/or postmint damage.

Re: 1766 Irish half penny
Well, in y references for the 1766, there were no angular sides. Your coin doesn't have them symmetrical either. I think the angular rim/edge is post mint with someone just playing around. According to Krause, it's an Obv 1.
