    I have not heard from him. I miss him, too.  And I was one of the bad ones. One day I posted a coin, a 2-oz. 1804 siver dollar I lovingly referred to as an authorized counterfeit. Time passed. He saw it and left, not a Like, but a glowing comment. I sent it to him. I do hope all is okay in his neck of the woods.

    Here is one I got today. Trying to get the proof set. I'm about 20 into it so far. My first NGC graded coin.

    Two types of 1942 Canadian Nickels
    The first half of 1942 produced the regular 100% nickel 5 cent coins. Part way through in order to preserve nickel for the war effort, they switched to Tombac (a form of brass).  The twelve sides was to avoid confusion with copper cents. Tombac 5 cent coins were produced in 1942 and 1943.

    I have been looking for a nice 1962 D it may not look like it but trying to find a MS 66 is tough and it is not much easier to find a good MS65. This is a real nice gold toned one.

    It has been a while since I had an opportunity to photograph more of the coins from my Whitman bookshelf album of Jefferson nickels from 1938 to 1964.  The last coins I had posted were issues of 1942.  I'm going to skip ahead for now to a coin of little monetary value but of some sentimental value. 
       I received this 1957-D nickel in change from a cashier at my high school cafeteria in or about 1976.  The coin is absolutely mint state despite having been issued nearly twenty years before I so received it. It was struck from worn dies, as indicated by the "orange peel" effect in some areas and the die crack at the top of Jefferson's head yet was strongly struck with most of the steps visible.
