Hit up my LCS for Canadian minors, got lucky again! Out of 55 cents, 5 were KG5s (1920x2, 1922, 1933, 1934). Out of 16 nickels, had 1 1967 and 5 KG5s (1924, 1927, 1929, 1931, 1934). I get these at FV in this LCS.

South-central Pennsylvania Amish country...some of these coins may have been brought down here by tourists from Canada a long time ago, then got socked away until one of Thogey's widows needed whiskey money :lol:

Today I got a complete Canadian small cent folder, 1920-1965, for $35.00. The 1922, 1923, 1924, and 1925 are all VG or better, the 1929 is a standard '29.

The 1923 is worth the $35 see http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=1-cent-1923&years=1-cent-1920-1936

Another example of why I keep buying all the Canadian cents, nickels, and dimes my LCS gets in......today I got 108 cents, 51 were KG5s (1920x22, 1921x2, 1928x6, 1929x2, 1932x16, 1934, 1935, and 1936). Of 10 dimes, there was a KG6 (1951). The big surprise was, of 8 nickels, one was a 1926 near 6 in mint state condition, at least MS63, maybe MS64. This coin looks like it just came from the mint, I wish I knew how to post pictures here. Not a mark on it and has full lustre in all fields. I'll have to get it graded somewhere, could be several thousand$.
