Got some rolls from a bank and finally completed my SQ collection (from Canada!). Now I need to get the territories. (Have DC and PR)
-
Wow, very nice! I seldom see any SA silver beside ZAR issues.
-
Nice nickels, and congrats on getting some notes! I do find it funny about the notes - $50 of $850 isn't even a 10% discount. Talk about trying not to make friends As for indoor lighting, fluorescent tubes work well, though sometimes I'll use a piece of paper or white cloth to cover it to diffuse the light a bit.

c'mon

Yes, please do tell....

Congrats!

Great piece, and great strike as well! (no pun intended)

Interesting. My only Hawaiian quarter is in the form of a spoon's bowl
-
First two things that came to mind: 1. Silvertowne logo 2. Arm and Hammer baking soda
-
Nice run!
-
Going back up a few posts, you've got some nice Hawaiian and a great Columbian half! I only ever seen them in XF/AU
-
Holy cow, those have got to be rare!
-
Not that different from here, considering how many small shops outright reject $50 and $100 notes.
-
To my understanding, 200 peso is the largest regular circulating note, and it's commonly advised when buying stuff in the marketplaces and streets to carry coins as well as 50 and 100 peso notes since some small vendor may have difficulty providing change for a 200, especially if it's early in the day!

Nice piece, that I'd also be concerned about its legality.

I don't think it so much nobody caring but rather that it's so specialized a topic. -
Neat stuff! Speaking of 5c - one problem in Canada was that the Canadian silver 5c was not compatable with American made vending machines that were made to accept nickels, so tokens were commonly used, though some would go through the efforts to import US nickels.

Thanks for your in-depth response! Around here, I only encounter (and only very seldomly) whole pieces, but I was wondering since online there seems to be a lot of cut halves and quarters.
-
How often are quartered or halved longcross pennies encountered as compared to whole ones?
-
Very impressive - I think I've seen his site before, but before the pdfs were added. He's got some pieces that are now very difficult to come across.
-
I'm going to have to think about this one too before replying. For disclosure purposes, I own a 1797 2d struck with rusty dies that is likely from several decades later.

The 10 peso furthest to the left is a silver-core piece!

It's actually been a while since I've seen SSI notes. I've yet to actually go there though - there's no public transit.

Dimes are fun. Myself, I've gone into world 2.5g .835/.900 silver coins, so all the LMU 1/2 fr equivs are also there.
