2004 East Caribbean States Dollar

It has been over a year since I last found an East Caribbean states coin. Although they are plentiful and the country itself is not that far they still do not often appear in our change.

Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hinde at sea is on the back like normal. It is copper-nickel and newer coins are now nickel-plated steel I think.

Here are the stats for this coin...
Type / Country: 1 Dollar / East Caribbean States
Year: 2004
Mintage:  Not yet known.
Metal: Copper-Nickel
Value: $1.00 in AU

1941 Canadian Cent

An older Canadian cent yet still pretty common. It was a change find and one of the few non-repeats I got lately. Canadian cents are still plentiful in my change but a lot are modern ones.

Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne for so long that if you see a coin without her on it just keep it because it is old.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 1941
Mintage: 56,336,011
Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc
Value: $0.50 in Very-Good

1992 (1867-1992) Canadian Ten Cents

Another dual date Canadian coin. Again many people think this is an 1867 coin but for many obvious reasons it is not. The later date is nearly always the correct date on dual date coins.

I have not finished my 1990s dime collection from change because they are still difficult to find. Almost done with the Canadian cents except for the 1992.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 10 Cents / Canada
Year: 1992 (1867-1992)
Mintage: 174,476,000
Metal: 92% steel, 5.5% copper, and 2.5% nickel
Value: $0.10 in Extra-Fine

1995 Hong Kong 20 Cents

A nice scalloped shaped coins with 12 notches. It is  common coin design to easily make a coin that is almost round. Having this shape gives you all the benefits of a round coin but a easy distinction from other denominations.

The front has the same Bauhinia flower just like the other Hong Kong coins. Although no mintage figures are available I am guessing a lot were made because Hong Kong is a modern place with a robust economy.

Here's the stats for both coins...
Type/Country: 20 Cents / Hong Kong
Year: 1995
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Nickel-Brass
Value: $0.10 in Fine

1946 D Nickel

Okay I am still here just busy. Found a bunch of coins but without Microsoft Excel on my new PC it has been tough tracking my coins. That aside here is nice older nickel I found in my change.

Pretty common but almost 70 years old makes this a keeper. The small D on the back to the right of Monticello is sometimes hard to see so I often put back coins because I cannot quickly see the back mint mark.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Cents / United States
Year: 1946-D
Mintage: 315,690,000
Metal: 75% Copper 25% Nickel
Value: $0.10 in F-12
