# 67 - Another Raid with @thedamus

As everybody that follow @thedamus know, last Tuesday we went on a mission to three LCSs near Vancouver, BC.

He has already written his report, but on Wednesday I flew from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro and after 26 hours flying I was not physically able to write my part of the story to post yesterday.

Now I am rested and I can tell you what was bought.

First we bought some silver junk. He bought American junk and I bought some Canadian junk. The Canadian coins are 80% silver. The dollar weights 23.33 g and the half dollars weight 11.66g each.

Sorry for the fact that the Canadian Dollar is upside down. I only noticed it now, after posting...

I really love the silver Canadian half dollar. The Canadian coat of arms is stunning!

Then we went to another LCS. While @thedamus was buying some old German coins and an amazing old Japanese coin, my eyes were on this:

That is the 2014 "O Canada" complete silver set. It is composed of ten silver coins. The series replicates several aspects of Canadian history, animals, places and traditions.

Their nominal value is $10, with a 99.99% silver purity and weighting 15.87g each. They have a Matte Proof finish.

The first coin features that iconic Arctic structure: the igloo. The image presents an Inuit man lifting a freshly cut ice block in front of his igloo. Working with strength and precision in sub-zero temperatures, he constructs his snow house and then removes ice blocks from the structure’s interior floor to expand its interior space and build the rounded tunnel that will cover the igloo’s entrance and keep cold air at bay.

I will show you the rest of the series in the following articles.

I hope you have enjoyed this article.
