925, "O" hup 1, hup 2..........................hike

From the land of the Bluenose....the dig was on with a bad weather front moving north to south. Thunder and lightening just a ripping from the sky and I was holding the Freedom 3 Plus....aka the lightening rod!

Had dug up a few pennies and this rare modern coin which I'm sure would have completely disintergrated in another year if it had been left in the ground.

Lightening again in the sky and like it I steaked out of there beating feet and headed away from the dark clouds.

Hit a school yard that netted me a few more coins and a nice dinkie and then had to go see a man about a horse (Shetland pony) so into the woods this bouy did a go only to find a football! NFL starts in a few weeks. Must be an omen to play the sports lotto!

Dark clouds were moving in again...........so was I too another spot this time going aquatic with just the ducks to keep me company.

Aquatically eyeballed this. Was wondering if that is a word but who cares as it fits the bill. Some poor Bluenoser lost his underwater orbs!

Amazes me what folks loose in the water especially after pulling out this 925er.

Had enough as the ducks were talking about me and circling like a wagon train about to be attacked by the Indians or should I be politically correct and say a tribe of First Nation individuals.

Take for the day was the dinkie, the mandatory earing, key, 50 cent piece, 925er "O" , Chinese coin and 73 coins @ $5.02 (including the 50)

Got home just in time youz as da sky let loose and it was raining hake, herring and halibut. Of course Otto didn't mind the bath.

Leslie:
Here's another onliner's response to: What is this coin?
"For 2002 a special commemorative circulating half dollar was issued for the Queen's 50th anniversary. On the reverse the date was moved from the sides of the top of the shield, to below the shield as a double of '1952-2002'. A special new obverse was created for the 2002 commemorative half dollars, which shows her as she looked when she became Queen in 1952, and has a crowned ER II CANADA behind her. An attempt was made to actually get these coins into circulation, with the Hudson Bay stores and Post Offices handing them out in change, and this was probably the only Canadian half dollar to see any type of common circulation after the early 1970's."

Some of these 50 Cent pieces are for sale on eBay, in attempt to get a premium over face. Most auctions seem to close without bids, but a few - perhaps those with low shipping cost - seem to have received bids of about $1 per coin. (Other than any possible value to coin collectors, the coins are just worth $0.50 each; they are made of copper-nickel, so they don't have any silver value.)
