Still learning how do you know that it came from the mint that way? And how do you tell if it’s post mint damage?

Thank

A big difference is we do not have an alloy recovery program, so we are able to acquire those coins at banks.

That’s because our coins down here in the states are worth recovering.

If you go to the website coinflation With the composition of .999 nickel makes them worth recycling.

Have you tried a coin store in the US. My local coin shop has plenty of Canadian coins and they sell at a .8 of face and then an extra .8 for the exchange rate.

You can also order them from the US mint and they ship to Canada.

You might want to join the group over at [url]realcent.org[/url] There are several members at that site that live right on the border and trade in both Canadian and American coins.

I think the post listed it at.

It is 2.0g, 16.3mm x 1.1mm

By the way I read this Wikipedia article I don’t think they made any coins in 1968.
See.

This might be a good place to start.

Cross the 1960 25 cents off the list. (Really wish we could edit our posts.) I have a son with autism and he and I fill folders and have found Google docs is good way to keep a list up to date. Here is a his list. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w3vJYCStujaSG2zk5asr9Mai-ZR61Pic_WLxMiz7Oyw/edit ...

Nice photo.

I don’t see any 2000 and that would match see https://www.jandm.com/script/getitem.asp?CID=3&PID=98

With all the pennies getting melted down by the Canadian government with the alloy recovery program does anyone think that might make some of the pennies worth more.

I got it at my coin shop in Medford Oregon. They had a 1921 silver but that’s more than I could spend. See http://www.realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=25728&hilit=+1921

I have a Lighthouse 1858-date Canadian 5 cent album. It is the best one I have found The odd thing is I have found two silver five cent Canadian coins in coin counters in the United States in the last two years. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/599/20775690808_248e38f560_b.jpg Scan by Karen , on Flick...
