Group Lot of Canadian Silver Coins, Quarters and Half Dollars (13 Pieces) - Group lot of thirteen Canadian silver coins consisting primarily of 25-cent and 50-cent denominations spanning the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth century. The group includes coins dated 1899, 1933, 1934, 1939, 1942, and 1959, representing the reigns of Queen Victoria, George V, and George VI. These coins were struck in .925 fine silver prior to 1919 and .800 fine silver thereafter, reflecting the standard composition of Canadian circulating silver coinage during this era. Designs include the crowned portraits of the reigning monarchs on the obverse and traditional Canadian denomination wreath motifs on the reverse. Mixed groups of early Canadian silver coins remain popular with collectors seeking representative examples of historic Dominion coinage while also appealing to bullion-oriented buyers due to their intrinsic silver content. Condition: Mixed circulated condition with moderate wear consistent with circulation; several pieces show toning, surface marks, or light oxidation from storage.
