Hi there,

That Terry Fox commemorative dollar is not that common. Only 13 million issued. Brand new, worth $4.

Cheers,

The confederation token is a nice find. I found some on ebay from $5 to $30 but can't find a photo of the reverse.

That's a nice little stack of Presidential tokens that you have there. :) I found a bunch of those last year at an awesome garage sale (along with 20 pounds of various coins) and then sold them to a guy in the coin club. I gave Hoard all of the Chuck E Cheese tokens too, since he collects them. There were also 3 older silver Franc coins too.

So did the bank get stuck and ate $42.00 then?? I assume so. Oh well, more for you! :D

Nice CA score. Last week, I was dumping about $600 or so and somebody just left a small CA stash right there on the lip near the window edge. Got about $1.50 or so.

Then on Thursday before dumping, I noticed the reject tray contained a Ghana 50(?) coin, plus a dime and penny.

You guys are really scoring some nice rejects, Joe. Keep at it!

I would say that's a major "type" of a find, which I thought should be on "the list"

Good job. And doubly good on the Swiss silver!
