Congrats!

I'm going to guess machine wrapped, from corporate depositors?

Very nice!

The Peace of Paris 1814. BHM#808
ccg replied to constanius's topic in Exonumia (Tokens, Medals, etc) Forums
Thanks for the explanation and examples! I have to say that in my experience with older coins, I usually encounter square nail holes more often than round nails through the mid-1800s, at which point round nails seem to predominate. -

Neat! Was the hole as issued, or was it added by someone at the time to attach a ribbon to? -
Nice note, and neat lion - it kind of reminds me of the ones used on Ethiopian coinage.

2005 Canada veteran's commem 25c. Not an unusual find, except that I got it in the US!

What Art said!

bicent quarter, VG-Fish. First that I've received in change!! (Though I've spent hundreds myself...)
-
Really? I think I saw a 1/2k at a show around here recently. Low grade-ish, but if you're interested, I'll keep an eye out for it next time if it's still around.

I kind of like the small reverse lettering on the $5.
-
SA - that is one heck of a piece, and great story too! I thought that they just folded up / ceased their Canadian ops.

The only two Canadian solids I've seen in person were both circulated '54 series, so I think that they did go off into circulation and were plucked out futher down the line at retail banks, or by collectors - and that a put together set, yes, is truly miraculous.
-
The 2001 (yes, rather outmoded) Charlton lists the following suggested values for solid serial number 54 series: $1... 400 $2... 450 $5... 500 $10... 550 $20... 600 $50... 700 $100... 800

Great set!
-
Very interesting!

Yay dimes!
-
Neat report - looking forward to seeing that token!
-
It's nice that you got the 1980 ones and not the later 1990 re-issue; the back of the 1990 isn't nearly as nice even though it's the same design.
-
Those are coins and not tokens.
-
2010D shield cent. First of those I've seen.
-
The closest things I've come across is stuff for Coca Cola and Barbie, but those were in silver, so it's a lot easier for a collector to pay $50-100 for something like that. (and thus a premium over melt/scrap) But even with a more recognized name (e.g. Coca Cola), I think the the premium would likely be marginal.
-
Did you mean AV (gold) instead of AR (silver)? Anyways, if it's 1 oz of gold, I highly doubt that any soft drink memorabilia collector would value it more highly than its gold scrap value. Probably a pretty scarce prize from the looks of it.

NZ shilling's one of my commonwealth favourites

Nice!
