Hey you hosers! I always hear of them (you) Canadians finding our U.S. Coins up there egh, and all I ever find down here are your semi-modern pennies. Well here it is, an old Canadian silver from the Great White North, 1886, in New Jersey. It's about time I got something shiny from Canada besides a Labatt Beer;)

Now take off egh!! ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1443372112.861099.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1443372156.226902.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1443372167.948633.jpg

Excellent recovery Scrappy.
That's a lot better than the super copper pennies.
You ever notice how hard Canadian Pennies hit?

Nice find. I got a 1920 Canadian LC in Maryland. It was not a recent drop. No Canadian silver though

Thats a sweet little coin
Theyre hard enough to find here in Canada, nice find
Thx IH
It's my oldest Canadian coin I've found. Found the large and small copper ones, some 40's silver dimes, but never anything else that was old.

It is better and I do notice the signal. They are a bit thicker than US small cents and the extra mass probably helps

Nice little find man! 1886 - Small 6. In that condition probably 30-50 dollars. (CDN)

Hey man that's cool! Good to hear it's worth a few $$ Thanks for the info. I've pulled a lot of American silver (seated libs) from that decade but pulling a Canadian silver is a special thing!
