Oh Canada, 1958!

Over the past 6 - 8 months I've been able to pick up two Canadian Totems (1958). The second one (bottom pic) arrived in today's mail. Thought I'd post them both. I like the ruggedness and coloration associated with each. I've seen some superb examples of these posted here - share 'em if you got 'em. This is a great hobby! Enjoy.

    I bought a mint bag of 100 1958 uncirculated coins for $600 a few years back and returned it because it wasn't sealed as advertised. I should have kept it. image

    Looking good, Mesquite. One of my favorite CA dollar designs. Here's one of mine:

    I have a couple more toned 1958 BC's that I need to image.

  • Mesquite--I like your two examples.

    WWW--(sigh) yeah. That reverse is as good as I've seen.
