You find it while cleaning an old leather binder, maybe in a plastic box shoved to the back of a shelf. Your dad's collection. Your aunt's. A grandparent's. You crack it open, flip through some pages, and the first thought that hits isn't excitement. It's confusing.
You hold it in your hand. It's heavier than you expect. Solid. Real. The weight alone tells you something is different. This isn't paper. This isn't digital. This is something.
Some coins feel ordinary until you hold them in your hand. The 1967 Canadian silver dollar is not one of them. It stands out immediately because of its size, silver content, and one-year Centennial design that collectors still recognize decades later.
