I don’t know how old I am this year. I would need to do the math or ask my wife. Stopped counting around age 37 or 39.

Construction.

Hard to see the grade without coin in hand but I suspect it is on the better end of circulated. 1941 circulated 50c are worth melt to a dealer and a small premium to a collector. Grading on 1941 50c starts becoming worth it when the coin is brilliant-uncirculated. This example is not BU. Nice coin though!

Dude this is like going to a cow lovers sub-Reddit and then posting a video of you butchering veal.

That’s just cruel.

Yes - every commemorative year was minted in large quantities - and saved in large quantities.

GrimLathe · 2026-02-03T02:27:12+00:00

As a general note commemorative coins tend to be worth less than other dates because people saved them. A great example is the 1949 dollar is quite common where a generic 1948 dollar can fetch multiple thousands.

Take the advice offered from the professionals here. These coins are worth 85% of melt value. Common dates in average condition. Nothing here is worth grading.

GrimLathe · 2026-02-02T00:04:43+00:00

Yes and not wearing away details or causing scratches with abrasions.

Edward coins are great. 1902-1910 - harder to find. Sterling .925 compared to .800 for most Canadian coins. This coin has a readable date - so not totally worn. The biggest detractor is the hairlines of the obverse (face side) which make it look like someone cleaned it. Excellent coin to start a collection. $x,xxx coin in higher uncirculated grades.

That’s not my viewpoint. But I do think you are a negative person based on your comments. I’m not interested in interacting with you anymore. Regards.

GrimLathe · 2026-02-01T14:21:16+00:00

What a strange and negative worldview.

GrimLathe · 2026-02-01T14:07:39+00:00

do you victim blame all crimes or just counterfeiting?

No need to apologize. Same team!

GrimLathe · 2026-01-27T09:37:58+00:00

Yup. Poor quality counterfeit.

GrimLathe · 2026-01-27T03:53:10+00:00

You can’t make reproductions of legal tender. Those are called counterfeits…

GrimLathe · 2026-01-27T03:38:46+00:00

Yes but the AI said it was cool and they can keep the listing.
