I adore many of the medallic, coinage and token issues of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. However, I don't own many pieces. We must have some cool things from members of this board. It might be nice to share images with one another.
To start, here is some circulated coinage I picked up at bullion a few years ago...
I'm 3 1/2 years late to this party, but I must say that's the nicest group of coins purchased at melt value from the Great White North!
Following @TomB's display of choice Canadian "bullion" coins, here are some inexpensive Canadian dollars and a Newfoundland half off of eBay.
A seller there a few years back auctioning decent lots of 10 halves or 10 dollars that would close for about twice bullion value at that time (usually for about $20 to $22 for each dollar on average). They would add a better date or two to each lot like a 1938 or 1946 dollar to make them interesting. They were great lots for filling an album, if Dansco made such an album. I regret not purchasing more of those lots considering the high price of silver these days.
I like the '46 (my birth year) dollar. I even inlayed one into the top of one of the canoe paddles that I made a few years ago. They are all done with just a spoke shave and a 2" piece of cherry. I even made a couple canes and walking sticks that way, but my '46 paddle with the dollar inlaid is my special one.

I agree!
