The crown of my Canadian dollar collection

[shirohniichan]

This is the most expensive silver dollar in my collection. I propped up my Dansco album on the washroom counter and took the following photos with my Canon Rebel XTi with 28-135mm IS lens. Next time I'll put a neutral pad down to cover the reflective white counter (it washed out the area around the date).

 

 

It may seem strange, but my favorite coin from that set was one of the less expensive ones (the 1936).

It's not surprising to me. I like the KGV crowned portrait over the KGVI portrait by a landslide.

I'm with you too. The 35 and 36 are very cool.

Here's the 1936 I have in my Dansco. I think I have a better slabbed one somewhere.

Yes, that is the same design as the issues from South Africa and Australia. I like it much better than the modified design from places such as New Zealand and Southern Rhodesia or the "bare head' from the UK. I consider it one of the most attractive designs of any 20th century coinage.

[shirohniichan]

Yeah, verily. I like the EB McKennal effigy much more than the later one by Percy Metcalf.

 

Here's my 1936 pocket piece.

That's an unbelievable '48. Specimen?

I highly doubt it. The chrome-plated dies used to strike the 1945 and later dollars gave most mirrored surfaces and a "prooflike" finish (not to be confused with later "proof-like" coins struck for collectors).
