ewomack Posted July 1, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) I always thought I would have made a great Canadian, but fate deposited me a few hundred miles too short. I've visited Canada many times (Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Ottawa) and I always miss it when I leave. I also love Canadian money, but these appear to be my only readily available photographed Canadian coins: I'll throw in a banknote as a consolation: Edited July 1, 2022 by ewomack 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Steve Posted July 1, 2022 · Benefactor Author Benefactor Share Posted July 1, 2022 Thanks for the sweet Silver Dollar, Curtisimo (man, I love ship-coins) ewomack, I think you've earned yourself an honorary Canadian citizenship by posting those cool examples (well played) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severus Alexander Posted July 1, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2022 Canada Day!!! Yay!! 🇨🇦 Go CANADA! But Canadian coins? Well @Steve... I hate to say it, but... meh. 😐 Although I do remember having fun as a kid looking for those 1973 large bust quarters... never found one! I did buy one later for nostalgic reasons, which I still have; I also have my binder full of cents plus a long series of specimen sets. BY FAR my favourite Canadian coin that was in my collection: Because I bought it for 25 bucks and sold it for what you see... coin cash for ancients!! 👍👍 Definitely my best deal ever on a coin. I bought it to fill a space in my old large cents book (the wide 9/8) and it turned out to be a very rare catalogue variety where the obverse and reverse are inverted compared to normal. So yeah: 4 hours ago, Steve said: (drinks are on Sev-Alex) 😄 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furryfrog02 Posted July 2, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2022 Happy Canada Day to all my brothers from a northern mother, eh! Here is a medal commemorating the Royal visit 1939. I like it because it has a map of Canada and shows the route they took. My first gold happened to be Canadian as well. Also happened to be my birth year. Man, Canada is pretty awesome, eh? Enjoy a heaping pile of poutine and a Molson for me, you hosers! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
