Re: Can you still find 1991 quarters in the wild

I thought they held a bit of a premium because of their mintage . I’ve been keeping my eye out for one in my coin roll hunting for years . In fact I picked up a 1991 proof set down in the US at a coin store a few years ago for $15 US dollars . Was a buy for the set I thought and it gave me a quarter...

Replica. 1935 $1000 bill

There is an auction site selling a 1935 Canadian $1000 bill that looks very real to me( but what do I know) if it is a replica it can’t be legally sold can it?

Can you still find 1991 quarters in the wild

Sorry for no photos as I have mentioned in the past I’m not good with computer stuff.
But I was coin roll hunting and had to look several times to believe my eyes but I have found a 1991 quarter for my collection. It is in poor condition but that fits right in with most of my coins. :D

Re: 1941 Canada 1c Errors.

I think if you placed two coins in a vice or hydraulic press of some kind this could be accomplished. Or at least I’ve heard of it being done. I would think that the 1943 coin may have to be hardened a bit more then the 1941 but I don’t know if that’s possible or not. Just an opinion, Real interesti...

Re: Grading Unc $1 banknotes

Was , what your asking for is not a simple thing. The difference between a grade of 62 or a 64 is not easy to spot by a untrained eye. You would be best to get to a coin show in your area or see if there is a coin club close to you that you could contact and have them help you.

Re: 1975 penny with 8 piece pie look 1

Looks like someone took a pair of side cutters to a one cent coin, only worth the copper thats in it I’m afraid.

Re: 1935 Bank of Commerce $20 Note Value?

Great looking note,
Just a heads up that any auction site or eBay will take there share of any profit you hope to gain.
But your probably aware of that.

I don’t know how rare they are but you can see the premium they hold on the price guide and value of that coin on this website.

Re: 1966 silver dollar. Large or small bead

Yes I would go with what Techmoe is saying check out your coin with what is on the Saskatoon coin club site. That’s a excellent reference for Canadian silver dollars. You have to be able to place a extra bead in between the bead that are there and that doesn’t look possible from the picture you have...

Re: 1872 25 cent piece error I believe, need help confirming

Yes I agree with coinguy. I think you have a die crack but that’s as far as it goes. I have a tendency to save any die crack I find . But don’t expect any extra value from it.
