NEWP- Canadian dollar

My new George VI Canadian dollar (1937)
My lousy camera skills don’t do it justice but the toning gives the king’s bust an amazing cameo look in hand.
It is startlingly nice.

    Nice coin. Must be a weaker strike because it looks like the hair above the ear is lacking. Odd toning right and bottom.

    nice coin... the 37 and 38 seem to be more of a challenge to find nice

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    what about the rev side?
    for both coins. the rev is just as important.

    Thank you, it is also very nice in hand. Too bad about the bag mark on the reverse (63+/64). I will keep in the current slab to join my other dollars in registry set.
    Happy Fourth of July!

    I really like the frost on the 1938!
