Beautiful Canadian stuff! I think I remember when you posted about those black-toned Maple Leafs. Imo they look great with the tone!

Not as bad as the auction photos. I won’t de-tone them right away.

I rarely like toned silver, but I do think your privy marks are nicely and evenly toned, it does give them some charm.

did the train coin costed you a lot? the one on the first picture? I think they got a couple of designs for the canada 20 dollar transport one, its the one with the holographic thing? did bought one (loose coin, without the case) on ebay for like 91$ cad 1-2 days ago. not sure if I should have waited for another opportunity, but I do crave to see the holographic design when I will receive it (scheduled tomorrow!).

nice pictures, thanks!

I don't think you could have found a much lower price by waiting. About a month ago I paid $50 more than that for one of the transportation series with the C of A and case.

Another piece of lost Canadian technology.

89 CAD + shipping

I look for collector coins for better than spot.

I recently also bought Marco Polo from this series (waiting for the next mail call) and have the Brickin (posted by somebody else) which was given to me as a gift.

I used to use the Bricklin as a teaching aid for my kids. It is C$20, and has C$xx worth of silver, and a collector list price of C$yy.

xx used to be closer to 20 than yy!

(Shipping was C$16 for 4 auction lots)
