I was where I always am almost literally 24/7/365 - tucked in my apartment.

As to your coins, I've only been browsing and learning about Canadian coins and paper money in the last couple/3 days so I wouldn't have had a clue as to values for you then and don't know much yet at all, nor could I have bought anything.

Those Tombacs I think, in spite of the historic commemorativeness, aren't worth much at all in terms of "money value" - Kinda sad, that

I don't know how much you got for your goodies so don't know if you got a good price or not. If you feel pretty happy and like you weren't ripped off. then you probably did good? I could try and find out the current going
"standard values estimates" if you wanted me to, just for the heck of it.

I think money collectors are about as nuts as old army vehicle collectors ... it seems that they get hooked hard and forever and if they want something bad enough they'll offer and/or pay more, sometimes WAY WAY more, than going standards. It's fascinating learning what people collect and why ... wow!


You can't see all 36 smilies in the box at right of the compose screen, only room for 26? to show at a time methinks ... BUT ... when you have a compose reply/post window up, look at the top of the compose box at all the options, and you will see a SMILIE face ... that will show you a dropdown menu of smiles, scroll to the bottom of that list to "see all smiles" (whatever) and click ... a new box should pop up showing all 36 of them ... take your pic.

A pain to have to go through all of that just to get at them all ... but it's that or learn how to type them in manually using the keyboard. Until and unless all 36 smilies can be made to show beside the compose box, we're kinda stuck doing it the long way

Longwinded as ever, I am, I am
