You're a very lucky man. It might be nearly a decade since I last found a wheat in change.

She's a beaut! Probably even prettier in person!

Cool!

I think my computer didn't read that font correctly. What did you say?

Sorry to hear about your father :-/ I am not a Canadian coin collector, but I don't think they are worth much more than face value.

Great analysis. This is one reason why I love this hobby.

And that's why I've never bought from eBay!

That sharp?! That's some fine coining they do!

You'd think you'd find them more often given how many letters are on the edge and how small they are.

Let us know what you figure out!

Awww you scrooge! Just embrace our existence in this big, cold universe!

I really like this veterans one! Cool!

Awesome!!

Welcome! Do ou have a specialty?

Photos and studies like these are why I love this site. I wonder if this is an example of "die" wear but on the star dies. Like... the first star (within a star) pic is from a fresh die. But the second one is from softer, more worn dies.

A restrike could mean a coin that was struck well after the original striking but using similar or the same dies. I know some of the most expensive American coins are examples of this: the 1804 Dollar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1804_dollar). None were actually struck in 1804. The first weren't struck until the 1830s. And then there were strikes known as restricts in later years. So you could have that. But I think the Maria Theresa is also well known for being heavily, heavily copied.

Very cool!!
