Otherwise I wouldn't have known to grab it. Surface wear is not bad, but it has a corrosion spot and some rim damage. Maybe a US $20-30 coin? I'm not sure. There doesn't seem to be huge interest in Canadian coins from most US collectors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There doesn't seem to be huge interest in Canadian coins from most US collectors. With the rim dings, I'd say it's a $20 dollar coin. Maybe more? Still it is a key and pretty nice. I have a set of large and small cents, complete without proof issues and there are a lot of varieties of which I have some. I was glad when they stopped minting cents in 2012. I have a nice complete set of Canada 5 cents with all the proofs and silver proofs etc. I quit this year, I'm going to stop because there are too many special coins each year and they are too expensive. With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, it is just as well being about a 100 year set. 1922-2022. I'm not chasing Charles coins. Congrats to you and your eagle eye daughter! Thanks for the pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
