Up for sale is a silver dollar coin struck to celebrate the 100 year anniversary for British Columbia in 1858. The coin, struck in 1958, bears a design representing the First Nations's people with a design of a totem pole. Some obververs noticed the raven which is prominently displayed, and they held the belief that the raven bird was synonymous with death. Others heard about this and began to refer to this coin as the 'death dollar.' The raven holds no such macabre values in the First Nations culture and the coin remains today as legal tender and both a good numismatic conversation piece. Please view photos and feel free to ask questions.

Sometimes our inventory gets sold locally, and we don’t have a chance to remove it. If that happens, we will immediately refund your money. We are literally a small three employee business.
  • Postage – Please bear in mind that our postal charges include actual postage costs, and packaging which is AT LEAST $5 per package. Signature Required and/or Insurance is added on as needed. We do not ship internationally, as we had too many “lost packages”.
  • Dispatch Times – We normally ship your order via USPS Ground Advantage within one day of payment. Unless we are at a show, then the next business day. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with the tracking number. Your item will probably take up to five days for delivery. We ship thousands of coins a year, about 2% take up to 3-4 weeks. USPS will NOT update the item location in transit, do not expect them to. If the item is lost in the mail (this happens in less than 1% of shipments), we will contact USPS to get the issue resolved. We abide by the USPS definition for a lost item: ” not delivered within 30 days of shipment”.
  • Returns ONLY within 30 days– We really do not mind returns at all. However, administrative costs may require us to impose a 10% restocking fee.

If you do not love the item, I encourage you to return it.
