  1. I have come across this before only it was Canadian $20.00s, and yes they were real, and yes its a promotional idea. In my block there was only one bill in pristine condition but the perspex was magnified in some way to give the illusion that there were more notes than they seemed. I dont know if this will work on a US bill but here in Canada you can run a black light over the block to determine if genuine. I have seen numerous silver dollars with the same idea, I smashed one open and found it be the real macoy, I am pretty sure yours is too.....
  2. I dont know anything about these, but wow they must look great in a collection, I bet they make a great conversation piece.. __________________________________________________ A nickel aint worth a dime anymore Yogi Berra
  3. While proof sets are a nice addition to any countries coins, I feel (and others may/will disagree) the classics balance out nicely any collection. A coin that springs to mind is the 1951 british penny, it can still be had for a reasonable price but not for long methinks because of its low mintage. Just to give you an idea. ___________________________________________________ Man who eats prunes Gets good run for his money.
  4. I agree, but think longterm rather than shorterm, if the RCM is recalling 50cents and dollars and melting them (Which they are) wouldnt they end up like the silver and be sought after down the road, I mean think outside the box, all of a sudden you have all steel coins in circulation and very few silver and likewise now very few nickel coins to collect. As for me I am currently hoarding nickel coins for that very reason, my bank calls me whenever they get some in and I must say the calls are getting fewer and fewer.. ______________________________________________ When I was a boy The dead sea was only sick.

  5. So, the RCM is going to make the new Loonie and Toonie for this year out of steel blanks. I guess the older coins will now be worth hanging on to. Thoughts anyone. ______________________________________________ It is wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago. Dan Quayle

  7. Paid $1900.00 last summer for a Canadian collection. It also consisted of some early USA and some early foreign stuff. Had about 200 Canadian large cents (all years ) some early 20 cent newfies and CDN silver nickels (no 1921s tho). Had some early US paper money and some King George CDN paper money. Still going thru it but some US stuff anf foreign will most likely end up here for trade.
  8. Wow, thanks guys, I found this conversation very interesting and informative (now I know why I joined this forum). I had no idea the coins of Russia could be so interesting to collect. Mind you, I have yet to hold a russian coin in my hand I have never seen one accept in pics. Thanks again everyone, I really enjoyed that.
  9. Welcome to the forum Gary55379. I myself do not collect chop notes, but what you say makes a lot of sense. Have you read the boards concerning uploading images on threads they maybe useful to you, I am looking forward to seeing your chop notes. Good luck.
  10. This is a semi-regal Canadian Colonial Token and should be dated between 1823-1843. It is also known as The Thistle Tokens. The dude is King George iv and therefore is not eligible to be on this board. It is my honest opinion that there are no Ugly Canadian coins, but then I am kinda biased.
  11. As most of you who collect newfoundland already know about the 1940 RE one cent, but did you know about the 1941 RE one cent. They are out there but I have yet to see one, does anyone here have one???.
  12. Let me know when you get to 1035
  13. Both the reverse 1937 dot and the 1941 five cents shown here had the master dies produced in PARIS, this was because the Royal Mint in LONDON could not produce them in time for issuence. Total mintage = 1937 dot =4,593.263 Total mintage = 1937 dot matte = included in above. Total mintage = 1941 = 8,681.785 Other coins where the master dies were produced in PARIS were 1938, 1939, 1940 and 1942...
  14. During my time with the Armed Forces, I lived in Germany for 6 years and even though at that time I did not collect coins, I did find them of great interest. I wish now I had kept the coins I was familiar with, such as the 2 Mark and the 5 Mark, but alas I did not. Part of my collection now consists of the coins of Germany to remind me of those heady days in the Deutsches Bundes Republic. I particuly like this one from Prussia dated 1913 to comemmorate 100 years of the defeat of Napoleon.(Mintage is 1 million)..
