This was the first Newfoundland coin I ever found(Lucky me:thumbsup:) The best coin so far in my ever growing collection. It's the smallest Newfoundland coin you can find.

What amazes me about these NFL coins is both their relative rarity yet very low value.
This coin, for example is nearly 5X rarer in mintage (only 100k) than a 1909 S-VDB US cent (484k), yet it's worth (maybe) only $15-$20 in VF-20 condition.
Excellent save !!

Sweet little Silver ! Since it's already holed , I'd probably put a chunky silver jump ring on it so you or a loved one could wear it .
