Happy weekend Steemians!
I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! Yesterday I decided to go on a trawl of our local antique shops to see if I could spot any silver that was begging to come home with me.
Hurrah! I found two pieces... but deciding whether to go for it or not was another matter.
The first was this VE / VJ commemorative 1995 coin (this pic is an example) It was in gorgeous condition but was quite pricey.
The second one was this 1967 Canadian Dollar.
Anyway... after sleeping on it and taking some great advice from @monsterjamgold and @saffisara who told me to follow my instinct on what I liked when it came to stacking... I bought the dollar.
Yay! My stack may be tiny, but it's growing!
So here's today's question for the SSG community... when it comes to UK commemorative coins, it seems many were made in both silver and coppper-nickel versions. How do you tell the difference? Is it just the overall look or is there a mark to look for?
