Description

The “Identification of Nickel” is the fourth coin of the six-coin Legacy of the Canadian Nickel series, which recreates previous 5-cent coin designs produced by the Royal Canadian Mint throughout its history, since 1908.

Almost all silver coins develop toning as they age. Many of our older silver coins have a beautiful gold patina. Please feel free to contact us regarding toning before purchasing.

A wonderful and affordable way to start a silver coin collection!

Special features:  EACH COIN INCLUDES A UNIQUE EFFIGY: Each coin in this series is faithful to the original design and includes the effigy of the reigning monarch at the time of the coin's original issue date.

“Unsearched” — All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”.  Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint.  They "cherry-pick" the best coins.  Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.  These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices.  When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.

Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.  Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
