I just bought a box $100.00 worth of circulated nickels this week, and I found at least ten of those nickles and I say they are road rash. a worth face value

WOW you mean that Canadian coins are not taken by buyers in shops in Canada like in the US. I save the coins to go to Victoria for a weekend trip so I have extra cash. Mine is cents 5 10 and 25 cent coins, but no larger coins or bills.

I will say that you all are correct about price. The only one I was thinking was the 1902 IHC error, and I'm not sure of it. It is a cheap coin, but has nice error on obverse and I saw other coins with good prices.

I posted that a few months ago but no sure how to repost my old photo

Thank again

I have some coins to be checked to know what I have etc.

US 1902 Indian cent error, 3 Canadian 1947 ML halves, 2 1925 Geo V sm. cents keys and some others that I don't trust my eyes anymore.

I trust your judgement to send to outside graders I have never done.
Don't want to be disappointed as I have see on the Forum.

Thanks
Gary

Hogarth,

Slick

Means that the coin is worn down that the design is barely readable and not very collectable.
I will try to get the camera able to send pictures so I can check the 2 farthings for type. I would like to know.

PaddyB, Thank you for the Quick reply on this coin. I got it from a good friend back in 1978 and never knew the history.

My grandfather migrated from the UK in 1885 and came over on a sailboat at 8 years old and I have several UK coins from 1797 a large copper Geo III almost slick, 1860,1865 farthings almost uncirculated with luster. AU condition in US grading. and some other old coins. Those coins have been in my collection since then and got me into coins.
Im in Washington State USA
Any help I can be send a note

Coin about inch and 1/2 diameter and thick 1/8th similar to a silver dollar for weight and size but no value on coin.
queen? or princess on horseback on obverse and crown and small eagle in center of wreath.

Reeded edge. Not silver, but probably nickel A friend from England gave it to me.

My camera quit or I would take a picture

CCF Members

I have my Canada type down to 11 coins and I thought I could maybe get some help from the CCF members so I can get my grandson a completed set
My list next

Victoria dime 1858 to 1901 , twenty cent piece 1858, half dollar 1870 to 1901

Edward VII, Half dollar 1902 to 1910

George V Grace1901less 1911 both Quarter and Half dollar

Geo VI Half Dollar 1948 to 1952

George VII Dollar 1937 to 1947 and 1947ML

Queen Elizabeth II Nickel 1963 or 1964

This book only goes to 1968 unless I could get an extra page 1969 to present for the book but not necessary.
I would like to trade coins as I have spares or ? and I don`t need the best condition unless not to high price, but readable and not damaged with holes or dents. Common dates OK can't afford the 1858 47ml or 48s

Im in Wa State area

Being that I was born in West Bend Iowa and left in 59 and my grand mother got my half from the bank when they were selling them and I just got a collecting bug then and she gave it to me. I still have it. part of my heritage.

Great story. very good info for someone who has one.

Thanks for sharing
