It's capital St John's is the oldest city in the Western Hemisphere, founded in 1497, and is located closer to Ireland, than it is Montreal. Newfoundland was a Crown colony of Great Britain, until it joined the Canadian Confederation in 1949. Newfoundland has it's own time zone, running 1 and 1/2 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, due to it's location sticking out in the North Atlantic Ocean. Newfoundland had it's own coins minted, from 1865 through 1947. Newfoundland coinage was heavily circulated, and is normally found very worn as a result, since TWO DIFFERENT bank failures within a 25 year period TWICE rendered ALL paper money WORTHLESS. Understandably, nobody trusted paper money after that. This is a VERY SCARCE, HIGH GRADE, 1896 Silver 20 cent, with NO PROBLEMS-just honest LIGHT wear, and GREAT DETAIL REMAINING. I'd call it a SOLID VERY FINE. Take a look at the pictures, and judge for yourself. This date has a VERY LOW MINTAGE of ONLY 125,000, and TRENDS FOR MUCH MORE THAN MY LOW STARTING PRICE, in Canadian Coin News. Sorry, ebay will not allow me to provide you with the specific trends value for this coin. ebay mandates that I advise you that this coin is raw, not certified.
