Canada Day Find

[WawaDuane]

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.

Great job, not only a oldie of a beautiful type, but a nice preserved and detailed one.

Nice digs. Good looking coin.

Awesome coin, and there are some valuable varieties of the 1859 I believe...

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.
