There's a small ship on the reverse

Does a canoe from a Canadian $1 count as a ship?

One of my favorites:

Roman, I love that S. Peru 8R.

TwoKopeiki · April 22, 2008 11:14AM

Thanks, Bill!

I love those '49 Canadian dollars. Yours seems to be a gorgeous example of the series.

WWW · April 22, 2008 12:10PM

Thanks, Roman and I always get a laugh at seeing your FC Indian.
The 1949 dollar drives me crazy trying to discern MS from PL varieties.
An interesting footnote to the design is that it was engraved by hand and
without the aid of a reducing machine. Just for fun, is this a PL or MS example?

TwoKopeiki · April 22, 2008 12:14PM

Erm... I thought the '49s were all MS?

TwoKopeiki · April 22, 2008 12:19PM

Btw, here's a PCGS 64 that I sold a while back:

And there are some specimen strikes too.

worldcoinguy · April 22, 2008 12:28PM

Does a little boat on the river count?

engraved · April 22, 2008 1:35PM

Great coins guys. I love the Peruvian 8 Reales TwoKopeiki. The cityview is really cool too. Which city are we viewing worldcoinguy?

I posted this one before, but this is my ship:

worldcoinguy · April 23, 2008 12:40AM

Thanks! I luuuuuve those cityviews. That particular image is the german city of Regensburg.

newbiecollector · April 23, 2008 3:13AM

I LOVE the city view coins but........the ones I find seem to always be beyond my pockect book.........darn it

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone here read the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian? I just finished it and it was fantastic.

FilthyBroke · June 27, 2009 4:01AM

Let's bring the ships back out!

I didn't realize how many ships I had!

FilthyBroke · June 27, 2009 4:09AM

Hope you don't mind, but here are a few of pictures of the USS North Carolina (at Wilmington, NC)-
