- Most collectors and coin roll hunters know what they're looking for. Key dates, rarities, and usually we've got our eyes open for anything SILVER. In this video, we'll take a look at a couple of pieces in my collection that I'd completely OVERLOOKED and DISMISSED, only to find out that they're SILVER! Do you have something like this in your own collection, and don't even know it? It makes me wonder what else I might have had and didnt' know...

James good tip. I typically go through world coins bins at my LCSs every other week. My finds vary for sure including some interesting pieces that turn out to be made of silver. One should always try to research the coins to find more information on them. Doing this makes our coin collecting hobby interesting and fun.
That's a great idea - many coin dealers don't have the time or interest to sort through world coins and just put them in the bin and sell them by weight or piece. Good opportunity to pick up overlooked treasures!
@@CADRollHunter Yes. I have found found treasures, or at least coins items worth more than what I paid at the time.
I was kind of surprised they actually put silver in these things. Nice finds!
Same here. I had no idea!
I have some of those McDonald's coins in my collection. I got them around 1981-82 when they did the promotion, and kept them. We can see time flies...
Absolutely!!
Great advice. First thing I check when I find foreign in roll hunts is possible silver (or gold) content. Once found a 2007 Slovenia 10 Euro cent on street in my neighborhood I thought might have been gold. It was actually Nordic Gold. Still wondering how it ended up in a small town in Nova Scotia.
It's crazy how coins travel and find their way to us! Particularly foreign coins from the 60s and 70s I always check thoroughly. Each country stopped using silver at different times, and I've been surprise a few times!
That's really neat! It obviously has had quite a journey. My top "floor finds" are a 1940 Mercury dime, a 1943 US war nickel, and 1949 CAD dime, and a 1967 CAD dime. 3 out of the 4 of these I found under Coinstar machines.
@@KG5Coins Nice! Walker Magnet always checks the trash cans next to the Coinstar machines. Employees are told to throw out coins that are found in rejects; they're not allowed to take them.
$1 doesn't buy anything at McDonalds anymore,lol.Thanks for the video.😊❤.
True enough, lol!!
I grew up in Hamilton and my dad used to take us to that Perth Co. show for a number of summers in my youth. It was interesting to see all the old engines and tractors and machines that used to be used. There was one year they had a behemoth of a machine that took probably eight draught horses to pull it. It would take a cedar log and produce cedar shingles or slabs or boards, depending on where in the process you took the product out. I had no idea they issued coins though!
I recall years ago the International Plowing Match took place outside of Pembroke on a rural road next door to my friend's house. I don't know why we didn't go to the show when it was right there!
Cool finds
Hey! Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
I found this very interesting, despite the fact that I'm not huge into collecting tokens, medals, etc. It's the surprise that you have something that's more interesting than you thought that makes it exciting! I don't have many tokens and medals like you do, but I do have a 1955 wooden nickel that was given to me - I doubt it's made of any precious metals. 😉
Tokens are definitely not my thing, but I've accumulated a bunch from different bulk-type purchases I've made. And these two, in particular, are ones I wouldn't have suspected of being valuable at all!
@@CADRollHunter Thank you for taking the time to educate us!
@@KG5Coins Any time - I'm just happy to share what I'm learning along the way!
@@CADRollHunter Thanks, stay cool! 🌞
Nice catch. They're kind of cool too
Definitely some character on that home-made job!
Nice fined. Speaking of fake toonies. Keep an eye out for the 2016. They are grinding down the camel toe to avoid detection. However, if you look close. You will still see the split in the toe.
I haven't seen a fake 2016 toonie just yet. But I wouldn't be surprised...
@@CADRollHunter I should also mention that there is a New batch of 2004 out too. Very shiny. Always a give away.
@@SummerSideOfLife Seems like someone's still shipping them into the country!
@@SummerSideOfLife I've seen that, too!
Cool
The best silver is surprise silver :-0)
100%!!
I knew Charles Moore.
Did you ever run into any of these medals that he made when he was with the CNA? I'm curious about how many he made and who would have received them. I read on a forum that these might have been pressed at the convention by someone with sterling silver blanks, but I can't corroborate that.
@@CADRollHunter No, I never was aware of them.
@@CADRollHunter I believe they were made by Kyle Mutcher of the Lasqueti Mint on commission by Charles Moore as a signature item. They should be 1/2-oz .999 Ag each. The ones with the "broken" edges I believe were hand-hammered from "blobs" of silver, but there are other varieties that appear to have been produced in a more conventional manner and have clean edges. I've got one of his medallions (tokens? coins? medals? I don't know) but not one of the hand-hammered pieces.
@@brent.mackie That seems to be correct. Peter Becker, WCS President pointed me in that direction, and I subsequently found this description in the CNA Newsletter from May 2007: "The Lasqueti Mint will strike this medal in-house, in 1/2 oz fine silver. They pour ingots of .999+ silver, roll to exact planchet thickness, punch the planchets with a hand fly press, confirm exact planchet weight, anneal the blanks in an electric digital control kiln, and strike the medal by hand with a drop hammer." Thanks again for pointing this out!!
