It hit strongly on the Tejon. We had a lot of rain and the ground was saturated.

GEORGE V
1911 to 1936

The Canadian large cent saw a whole new design for the 1911 to 1920 issues under George V. When first introduced in 1911 the coins were struck lacking "DEI GRATIA" (latin for "by God's Grace") in the obverse inscription and became known as the "GODLESS COINS". This caused such an outrage that in 1912 the obverse inscriptions were modified so that "DEI GRATIA" was again included on these coins.

Great finds. Those old coins just seem to have more class than the newer clad coins. Just like the old actors and actresses.
