Coins from Canada
Coins from Canada
Can one of you tell me if Canada coins were ever made of silver.I have a 1959 quarter and I am not sure if it is silver.

Aloha Jsmith!
Coin collector or just something you came across?
I got some vintage "tokens" that were to be used by an electric train system here in HI...there's a hula girl on it and there are cutouts on the coin itself. These were made prior to the "Train system" becoming a reality...which BTW, never happened. Interested? They aren't made of precious metal, but they're quite interesting if you collect coins.
God will put you over...if you let Him! John 14: 13,14...try it, it WORKS!

Not really a collector.Just have a few put back.I tried it at one time but it was just to expensive.
I just sold a bunch of Morgan dollars and barber halves and the like for my mother and aunt that came from my great aunt that just passed away.There were a couple old Canada coins left over.
Still have a couple of 1950s red seal 2 dollar bills and some silver certificates but there doesn't seem to be any interest in them.

Well, if ya still want some of them transit tokens for novelty sake, throw me an e.
My grandfather collected coins and stamps...someting I never understood. I'm sure he's saying the same about my collecting habit, rest his soul!

Yep
1- 1935 G
4- 1935 E
All in good shape,as a matter of fact they are in better shape than the ones from the 50s
I was thinking that they were a little rare.

The '35 G is the most common issue without, as it was the first one printed, oddly enough. (Why not start with A?)
The '35 Es, though, are worth a few bucks. Pal those together at a coin shop and you could likely buy a new <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> for the collection. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
The Man's Prayer- I am a man. But I can change. If I have to. I guess...
