KoRnholio Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Very cool! And as for mine, it's only a half dollar, but it's hard to tell on the draped bust since there is no denomination on the reverse! Ah, well a nice coin still I've never understood coins without denominations, especially sovereigns and half sovs which are almost the same diameter too.

jtryka Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Ah, well a nice coin still I've never understood coins without denominations, especially sovereigns and half sovs which are almost the same diameter too. Well for early bust halves the denomination is lettered on the edge "Fifty Cents or Half a Dollar" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Mailman was good to me while I was on vacation, got a new sovereign (only it's 98 years old) and two new additions to the trains on coins collection: I only need one more coin from the earlier transportation series of locomotives, the D10 from 2002 which I hope to order next week.

constanius Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 As our mailmen are locked-out in Canada I have not received anything for over a week!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Mailman brought this today, the last of the transportation series that I needed from 2000-03! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I really like the train coins. How many are there in the complete set? Are they all silver? Are they dollar or half dollar size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Art, Canada has done a number of them in the past, those were all silver dollars, but some were only 0.500 fine, others were 0.800 fine. These latest ones are all $20 face value and contain an ounce of pure silver. The series done from 2000-2003 were part of a larger transporation series, so for each year there were 4 coins, one from each mode of transport: rail, auto, sea, air. I've only pursued the rail series. The newest series is focused solely on famous Canadian locomotives, and it started in 2008, so there arer now 4 coins in that series. In the new series, the first was the Royal Hudson, then the Jubilee in 2009, the Selkirk in 2010 and the D-10 in 2011 (this was also done on the 2002 issue I just got). It's a pretty fun series!
