Super nice collection of older coins. Smart idea to reuse master hubs for a decade and just add numbers to the working dies. Also a great way for CRHs to gain die varieties and go blind staring into magnifying glasses for hours, LOL. Thank you inventor of the USB port microscope.
It's interesting how many more varieties have come to light now that it's much easier for even casual collectors to scope their coins. We're looking closer than ever before. The 1967 doubled die Canadian penny wasn't even noticed for over a decade!
That would be a pretty expensive proposition - especially if it just confirms that they're in rough shape. I wouldn't hesitate to have some real gems graded, though!
I do a lot of stacking here in Texas and recently I have been able to acquire a decent amount of Canadian 80% and sterling coinage. I would like to search for varieties and errors. Is there a web site that would show these or is it just the book that you were using? What is the name of that book? Great video, very informative and congratulations on the nice pick up!
Thanks so much - I appreciate the kind comments! There is actually a fantastic website you can go to www.coinsandcanada.com. Click "Canadian Coins" on the menu and click the first item on the menu, "Price Guide and Values". From here you can select which denomination and date range. From there, select a year. That page will give you info on varieties, there are pics. I like this site because users can send in pics of various errors/varieties - even lesser varieties. It's a great resource. Of course, I also use Numista.com which is also a great resource. You can use that site to log what you have in your collection. Thanks!
I haven't heard of Canadian collectors using Nic-a-date here, but I suppose it's possible. I haven't run into a nickel-composition Canadian coin where I couldn't make out the date, though.
And several were upgrades to what I had in my album - particularly a few of the BU coins, and some of the KG5 quarters, as you saw in the video. Thanks!
Enjoying your videos
Some nice older coins there! Congrats on the pickups!
Thanks! I love seeing what kinds of gems you can find in a junk purchase. I upgraded several of the coins in my collection.
@@CADRollHunter Me too! Once in a while there is a diamond in the rough there!
Very interesting, thank you for sharing! :)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I'd take that"trash" and make it my"treasure"!
No doubt - you can still find treasure in the scrap heap!

The book that I'm using is the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins. www.charltonpress.com
Just curious if you remember how much you paid for these?
Great coins!
Goodness, I don't recall, but I'm sure I have a record somewhere. At that time it might have been between 16-18 times face value or so?
Great find. Thank you for the great content!
Can u nic a date the dimes that the dates are faint?

Indic a date the dateless one to bring up a date if need be.
Nice! Some of those are in awesome condition! Congrats.
And several were upgrades to what I had in my album - particularly a few of the BU coins, and some of the KG5 quarters, as you saw in the video. Thanks!
Shouldn’t you wear gloves especially on the nice looking quarters
For sure - I wasn't too worried about it for this junk silver purchase, though a few of those coins were in gorgeous BU shape.
