Lot of Six Canadian Silver Quarters (1910-1926)
This lot contains six Canadian 25-cent pieces, commonly known as quarters, dating from the early 20th century. The collection includes various dates discernible under magnification, including 1910, 1912, 1913, 1919, and 1926. Historically, these coins were minted in .925 sterling silver until 1919, after which the silver content was reduced to .800 fineness in 1920. Each coin features the reverse design characterized by a crown atop the denomination '25 CENTS CANADA' and the date, all enclosed within a classic maple leaf wreath bound at the bottom by a bow. These coins measure approximately 23.62 mm in diameter. The condition varies across the group, ranging from 'Very Good' to 'Fine' on the numismatic scale. All specimens exhibit significant circulation wear, with flattened relief on the crown and maple leaves. There is notable evidence of surface scratches, edge nicks, and a dark grey patina typical of aged silver. The 1910 and 1926 coins are of particular interest to collectors due to their specific mintages and historical transition periods in Canadian currency. The craftsmanship reflects the standard Royal Canadian Mint production from the King Edward VII and King George V eras.
