I’ve got a small bunch of Canadian silver coins now, and it all started when @mikegpo sent me two of them. One was the 1964 Elizabeth II Charlottetown–Quebec Confederation dollar, and the other — my favorite — was the 1949 King George VI Newfoundland commemorative dollar. That one really pulled me in. Something about the design and the history just clicked. ![IMB_OlrzZV.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/Eo24ZmXTRXv7mHeLmomPzg8wvtyeX8xKzt7k1TXGRBRPjcrCbZHQEA8WxsyWLZfiL7f.gif) After that, I’d pick up a coin here and there whenever I remembered. Nothing serious. No big plan. Just casual collecting. If I saw one, I grabbed it. If I didn’t, I didn’t think about it again until the next time. That’s pretty much how I operate with most things anyway. A few stacker-friends added to the pile along the way. @kerrislravenhill sent me a coin I’ll show later, and @fat-elvis sent me the Regina, Saskatchewan 100th anniversary dollar and even a 1954 $5 Bank of Canada note. That note was a cool surprise — old-school design, nice condition, and it fits right in with the silver dollars.

All of these coins are silver, which is part of why I like them. They’ve got weight. They feel like something. These older Canadian dollars are big, solid, and have that satisfying clink when you set them down. ![IMB_wp4Aq0.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/23tSSEfC29GCoz4CUhE5szVW1MsNmJZEYKURrzRMRMYhKcTsQrF1SCVr6N2SuL7z4826y.gif) I keep them in a small box, nothing fancy. Every so often I take them out, look them over, and that’s enough for me. I’m not trying to build a huge collection or chase rare pieces. ![IMG_9708.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/23tSWg8ayW8CSZt4rq4novDxwbYvRdo8eVTQQkHFagDSeS4Vejt7EbijV23whE4hwfW4L.jpeg) I just like the ones I have, and I like the stories behind how they got to me. That’s really the whole point.
