That George V sculpt is my favourite among obverse Commonwealth coins.

>>54612326
I have both US and Canadian. Some Olympic commems.
I prefer Canadian, but still pick up Morgan or peace dollars here and there.

I just fished through the junk 800 at my local, specifically looking for some Canadian small change. Came away with a 1966 dollar coin, two Victoria quarters, a Victoria 5 cent (very worn, so tiny, never seen one in person), three King Eddie quarters, a King George (best out of all Canadian obverse designs, in my opinion) several dimes, a young Liz 1953, and a George VI 1937.
I also found an 1888 Victoria quarter in there buuut of course the guy went through to date everything relative to ebay. Sad. It would've been worth about $40 to $50 USD in the condition it was in.
I'm going back there soon to pick up that peacock patina 1880 Morgan they showed me. Sexy piece of work that one.
Trying to save some Canadian silver from the melting vats.
I've been getting ready to move and I've misplaced my pic related with 15 CSD in it. I sure hope it doesn't get lost in the transition. I have my death dollars in there.

>CSD is back down again
I'm supposed to be buying gold now.
Can I resist?

>>53986729
Just one?
They're my fave. Even though they aren't as low priced relative to spot as they once were they're still affordable.

>>53619536
>>53620132
Yes!

>>53454975
Yes. 800 fine is a patrician taste.
>luv a good king, me. Ts nice lookin' profile.

What did you guys do today? Today I hit a maple repeatedly with a hammer. It was cathartic. It's still got some rough spots. Makes for a nice fidgit. I hammered it into a minor bowl. It can spin easily when laying flat on the convex side.
If you're getting paid in paper any time soon, trade it up for straight cash. Things is going to get weird next month.
Oh! And if you can pick up any interesting old coins, particularly if you have the provenance, stack that shit too. Collecting ancient shit will make a come back, large.
There's a buyer on the scene who wants to hoard that shit for some reason. Especially coins with kings/emperors on them.
Is this 'my uncle works at nintendo' tier advice? Yes. Take it, leave it. I'm taking it.

I knew it would happen eventually. Canadian 800 is now getting to be on par with generic silver. Dollar coins and half dollars in particular. It used to be cheaper. Some of my old places have really jacked up the prices on good condition dollar coins, closer to par with the going silver content rate of American coin silver quarters and half dollars.
1965 mint sets are still the most available, but prices are higher. My Canadian sources are no longer cost effective to import. It seems as though the big names in the US are buying up Canadian junk now. My LCS says as much.
They used to send 800 silver off to get melted down but now collect and sort to get bought up by the bigger names.
Certain commemorative years are getting harder to find. Goose 67 dollars are available but pricier than they were this time two years ago. You can still find some ebay "deals" but you're still paying numismatic premiums.
I'm getting an impression that more individual coin sales on eBay are people selling what they have rather than coin shops. Nothing more than anecdotal here. I have been buying more for bulk than numismatics lately having crossed off most of my shopping list. (Still missing a 1936 dollar and some niche die-wear based items. I'll likely always want 67s, 49s, and 35s.)
Overall I'm pleased that 800 silver is no longer strictly melt. The fractional value is starting to be appreciated, if not the numi value.
Thanks for the assist, /pmg/! I'm sure some 800 stackers are here.

>Are they worth it since the amounts of silver can vary greatly.
Depends on a lot of factors. How much money goes in? When you get an older coin, you usually put more money to get it because of age or rarity. There's also the question of popularity. Old Canadian dimes and old American dimes have a similar amount of silver weight, but American coins are way more popular and thus command a premium.
Ask yourself: are you collecting for metal content or are you collecting for numismatic (coin collector) value?
>Can they be sold later at a slight profit?
Can they? Yes. Will they? Who's to know? In the fullness of time, yes probably. Will you still be alive when that time comes?

I've been gone for about a week. Did I miss anything?

>>50531050
GASP! Is that leaf junk? The best kind of junk?
>>50531211
IT IS!
Good jorb! Give'r! That's abo't right, eh?
>>50531322
They have very good prices on cdn junk on top of being one of the few US based distributors that stock it.

>>50479460
I am obsessed w Canadian silver.

>>50381241
Those are pretty chad. King George V has a better sculpt in my opinion.
I have one or two graded '39s, VF and AU, nothing MS.
>Ind Imp
If anyone has a '48 dollar, just know that there were only around 20k minted that year as India dropped off the Empire. They sell for big bucks even in crap condition. Rumor has it a fair number of them got melted at the mint.

>>50330521
Nice.
I should take more pictures of my Voyagers.
