THIS IS  A GUIDE BASED ON MY MANY PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERACTION WITH MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE CONNECTED WITH  COLLECTING AND DEALING IN CANADA & MARITIME COINAGE , NUMBEROUS  PRINTED MATERIALS, AND MY GENERAL LOVE OF ALL MARITIME COINAGE . NEWFOUNDLAND BEGAN SILVER COINAGE ( FIVE , TEN, AND TWENTY CENTS  ) IN 1865 . WE LL START WITH FIVE CENTS , STRUCK BETWEEN 1865 -1947, THERE ARE SEVERAL VERY RARE DATES IN THE VICTORIA SERIES , VERY WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION . THE 1865 HAD A MINTAGE OF 80,000 AND TRENDS BEGIN AT 55.00 IN VG-8. AFTER 1865,THIS SERIES GETS VERY TOUGH ....THE 1870 ;S TREND IS 100.00 IN VG , WITH HALF THE MINTAGE OF THE 1865, ITS NOT HARD TO SEE WHY . THE SCARCEST RARITY OF THE SERIES IS THE 1873-H NF-2 VARIETY  THE VG-8 TREND ( IF YOU CAN FIND ONE  !!!!!!!! )

IS A WHOPPING 1,200.00 !!!!!! THE 1876-H IS ALSO VERY SCARCE, A MERE 20,000 WERE STRUCK AND THE TREND IN VG-8 COMES IN AT 150.00 . THE LOWEST MINTAGE IN THE  VICTORIA SERIES IS THE 1885 WITH A TINY MINTAGE OF ONLY 16,000 !! THIS DATE TRENDS IN VG-8 AT 300.00 ,AND IS UNDERVALUED IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, I SOLD A 1885 IN AG-3, IT WENT VERY FAST, WITH THAT LOW A MINTAGE , IT NOT HARD TO SEE WHY .I BELIEVE IT VERY LIKELY THAT, LESS THAN HALF THE MINTAGE OF THE 1885 SURVIVE TODAY. THE LAST VICTORIA WAS THE 1896 , AND IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE OF THE SERIES , WITH A MINTAGE OF 400,000, STILL NOT , BY ANY MEANS A COMMON COIN .THE NEXT TWO SERIES  ARE THE KING EDWARD VII SERIES ,AND KING GEORGE V THERE ARE ONLY  SEVEN DATES COMBINED IN THESE SERIES , 1903,1904-H , AND 1908 , 1912,1917C, 1919C AND 1929 NONE ARE RARE , BUT NOT COMMON EITHER.  THE HIGHEST MINTAGE WAS THE 1908 AT 400,000, THE REST HAVE MUCH LOWER MINTAGES AND ARE WORTH PUTTING ASIDE. NEXT, IS THE FINAL NEWFOUNDLAND FIVE CENT SILVERS 1938-1947 , THE MOST NOTABLE IS THE SUPER LOW MINTAGE 1946C ( 2,041 ) THE VG-8 TREND IS 400.00!!!!! THIS IS TRULY A SUPER SCARCE ,AMAZING MODERN RARITY . ALSO OFTEN OVERLOOKED IS THE 1947C, WITH A VERY SMALL MINTAGE OF ONLY 38,400, THIS COIN IS GROSSLY UNDERVALUED AND WAY OVERDUE FOR A BIG INCREASE , VERY MUCH WORTH PUTTING ASIDE WHILE THE PRICES ARE SO LOW ... THE TREND IN F-12-EF-40 IS 5.00-25.00 !!!!!!!!  THEYRE A STEAL AT THESE PRICES !!!!! NEWFOUNDLAND FIVE CENT SILVERS.....BEAUTIFUL ,UNCOMMON, RARE ...!!!!!!!!!!!!  THANK YOU _____  DANNY  ANABLE ___" CANADA COIN NUT " _____JULY , 2006
