I just love the look of this Canadian 1872H 25c

So many times Victorian 25c and 50c coins from Canada are cleaned to some degree. I love it when I come across a coin that has such original color that one would expect to find on a coin 100+ years old. Not cleaned or dipped.

<< <i>agreed... exceptional coin. I like it and this coin is a great example of what I look for in Canadian... Victoria through Edward and including the tougher George V 50 cents.

I agree on the George V 50 cents, tougher series to put together. All I lack now is 1936. No 1921 of course.

congrats... I rarely find ones to buy... I found an original 1936 that is a likely misses VF but it still looks excellent

Yup, no one saved them back then. They just spent them. Most of my George V 50c are G-F. Oddly enough, my local dealer had 2 1934's, so I grabbed both of them.
