My LCS has a rare 1921 Canadian five-cent coin for sale.

We got to hold it.

From -- http://www.2-clicks-coins.com/article/rare-canadian-coins.html

Apart from silver dollars, Canada also used to mint silver coins of five-cent denomination. They were sometimes called “fish scales” for their thinness. In 1921, the last silver five-cent coins were struck before they were replaced with nickel cents in 1922.

Most of the 1921 Canadian five-cent coins were melted down during the change in coinage and only about 400 specimens are left, to date, making the 1921 Canadian five-cent one of the rarest Canadian coins.

Here it is.

This is not a common coin, especially in ''RAW'' form (ie uncertified). Thanks for posting.

Amazing. My car is worth less than that. Well, at least in one understanding of the meaning of "worth."

I found one of these today at my LCS, in a tube of about 50 coins. I was trying to fill some holes in my LOC album, had pulled out 8 others I needed then saw the 1921...it triggered something in my memory. My friend and fellow club-member works there, he was checking the price guide for each one I pulled out. He said the price guide for a VG is $2,700, this one is much lower grade, maybe a Good.
He will take it to the next Baltimore show to get it certified/graded if possible. Needless to say, I didn't get to buy it on the cheap like the other coins.

I never imagined I would ever see a 1921, let alone find one in a tube of common dates. Amazing! Goes to show that there are still some treasures out in the wild waiting to be stumbled upon.

So you puled a 5 cent silver coin out of a tube of 50 cent coins?

No, the LCS had a tube of about 50 silver half-dimes that I searched, (just a regular plastic dime tube).

I'll buy your car for $10 over melt. You pay for shipping.

Hopefully he paid you a 'finders' fee of $100 or more. He probably bought that tube of half times for less than $100.
If you hadn't been sorting those, who knows how long he would've sat on it, or ended up selling it in a bulk lot.
