I found this today and it was certainly a Happy Canada Day for me. Canada only started making coins in 1858 so we weren't minting much money when this was made.

A new young country from three colonies around her first birthday.
Great recovery to hold a piece of the past.

nice find wawa, I'm wondering if it's a double punch nine, this year has some good collector varieties that bring some good dollars. Nice dig.
