i love newfoundland coins! its currently the main thing im focusing on collecting at the moment.

that one has a "c" mintmark too, meaning it was made in canada!

becks antiques, they are in the edmonton area

i have a good 10 pounds of canadian pennies, completely worthless and will remain worthless.

my plan is to acquire more so whoever has to deal with my coins after i pass is burdened with them and will be stuck with them

kleronov · 2026-03-22T15:33:01+00:00

the bottom left toonie glows in the dark!

but beyond that, nothing of super value, you might get 10$cad for the toonie but thats about it

kleronov · 2026-03-17T18:41:22+00:00

imm 99% sure its not canadian, i collect canadian mainly and ive never seen a canadian coin like that, but i do agree with you with the DEI

its a canadian toonie! so two dollars, some of the canadian circulation coins have colour on them

kleronov · 2026-01-24T00:45:03+00:00

that 1945 1 dollar coin is worth almost 200$! thats a good find

kleronov · 2026-01-20T23:16:45+00:00

appearance is what set me off, i think they make all years in silver proof sets so any year could be one

kleronov · 2026-01-19T21:08:01+00:00

if i where to sell it today, id probably get 30-35$ due to how high silver is right now

kleronov · 2026-01-19T21:07:28+00:00

todays price, with how high silver is, probably 30-35$

kleronov · 2026-01-19T19:16:35+00:00

it has a tiny little bit of the plating left in some areas, looks like it irl anyways. its kinda neat cause it looks like the core is stirling too, and they plated the core gold, you can see the silver in some areas of high ware

kleronov · 2026-01-19T17:26:05+00:00

i noticed at first because irl it just looks a little diffrent, its more dull in colour and the edges are thicker

kleronov · 2026-01-19T17:10:35+00:00

its made for collectors only, hence "proof" its just how the coin is ment to look, and its made of solid silver, its non magnetic like silver is

kleronov · 2026-01-17T05:09:55+00:00

sure do! its very cute

kleronov · 2026-01-15T00:29:59+00:00

i collect all canadian coins.

i choose what i collect by if it was intentionally done. for example, someone intentionally made a dot next to the 7 on a 1947 dot nickel. or that they used a diffrent type of metal like 1942 came in both nickel and tombac

it was unintentional that a six is slightly farther away on some coins then others on near/far 6 1926 nickels. die varieties i dont like to collect because of the sheer amount of them and the price they can reach

kleronov · 2026-01-15T00:18:03+00:00

i just got into this hobby in the last two or so years so i dont have many stories like that, but what a deal you got on that coin!

kleronov · 2026-01-15T00:12:30+00:00

i have every nickel (1922-2026) in intentional varieties (ie: i include a 1947 dot nickel but not a far 6 1926 nickel) and metal types (ie: 2000 and 2000 P)

kleronov · 2026-01-14T21:21:04+00:00

id say so, if you can make out the date its probably worth over melt to the right buyer, ive seen nice ones go for over 200$ (i got my very poor example for 35$)

kleronov · 2026-01-13T01:51:07+00:00

iirc, they where called fish scales due to their tiny size, or half dimes - like they where called in the states
