Grabbed $950 in MWR last week. Halfway through, this oddball showed up. Front says queen Elizabeth the second silver wedding 1972. Rear says one pound Bailiwick of Jersey.

From what I can tell, this was part of a 9 coin set with a mintage of 23,500. 92.5% silver weighing slightly less than our 90s. Anyone else ever see one of these silver coins?

I always ask for canadian coins, and will buy it all, so lon gas it's not Loonies, and Toonies.

I have gotten silver 10c silver 25c and silver 50c Canadian coins this way. about 6.00 face so far, I just ask for canadian coins. I have also made out like a BANDIT selling my rolled canadian non-silver coins on ebay.
