Now I only need two more coins to complete my circulated Canadian 50c set (1870-1967).

    No way does it grade above G-VG. When I say my 'circulated' set, I mean circulated!

    Coin has a mintage of 60,000

    It's so worn, I can't tell if it's the reverse or the obverse. Congrats on a nearly finished project. image

    I still need a 1901 Greyside half for Victoria's set.

    Speaking of which, I just added five coins to that set, since a certain package from Greece just arrived...

    Go ahead and laugh. It's not easy picking up a 117 year old coin with a mintage of 60,000 for a price a teacher can afford.

    Actually, I find collecting circulating coins to be at least as much fun as collecting uncirculated ones.

    Congratulations on the nearly completed set, Don.image

    Great coin, what does the other side look like?
