My birthday is also in 19'th of July!!!

ain't that a shock too with the same b-day and both with this site.

thanks I'm going to have to, but I may just go to the coin shop in bellville and see if he has any and how much they are

Yes, you are right.  The raised parts at the base of the caribou is from the die cracking and chipping away over time.  Canadian mintages are so much lower than US, I'm sure they don't use nearly as many dies either. Is there a "P" on the obverse?

I would have to agree with you it does look like it's from a die cracking.

between me and QC we'll keep an eye out for some, we get alot of U.S. coins up here.

they look pretty roughed up

that is one nice coin tiff

any coin yet?

Franz just told me a couple of days ago he has one put aside for me, ain't it a beautiful coin, just love those ships

so have you found any pesos yet?

All steel coinage these days (1999-) is nickel plate, except for the cent of course, which is copper plated.

 

The commem is in no was supposed to be the same as the original, just kinda a re-issue, like the US buffalo nickel, which has changed from the original.
