Got some nice coins. A 1942 BU Walking Half dollar for only $22. Bought a mixed lot of Indian cents not expecting any special, just couldn't let them go too cheap. Ended up getting a 1908-s, 1874, and 1861. They're all damaged in some way, but for $11 and with 15 other Indian Cents it wasn't too bad. Got a 1933 Canadian Nickel. Its a better date. It looks nice uncirculated, but I don't know how to grade Canadian coins that well. What is your all's opinion on it. Anything grading ms-63 or higher is worth a good amount. Also got some cool late 1800s-1910s magic lantern slides. Most are from the passion play in 1910, but the coolest one I think is a Civil War picture/drawing. Its dated 1870 on the slide picture, not sure if it was actually from then. Any help on the Canadian nickel is appreciated, thanks.

The 33 is a very nice nickel..But unfortunately, it is not worth all that much. If you were to send it to a grading comapny and get it graded, then perhaps you might geta decent price for it.. But selling and finding a buyer can be challenging.

Now if it were a 25 or 26 far 6,... then you would be talking some serious money

Personally, I like the walkers.. and I am a Canuck.. Go figure

Be careful giving advice like this...

What you left out is that it would have to be professionally graded problem free in high grade to have any premium.

Yes I would get it graded. Going to take it to a guy that collects Canadian and see what he thinks. Anything ms 63 or better is several hundred dollars. I understand it would be a tough sell.
