Hey stackers! I an a new Canadian silver (mostly) stacker. I love the RCM stuff. Just sad I didn't start earlier ( I am in my sixties). Can I ask a question here, although I saw a question section? I understand the difference between a coin and a round but what about a shield? I know it is a type of round but I can't classify it! Thanks for letting me be part of your group! jenden
Welcome, you can ask questions pretty much anywhere but they might be better answered in the specific section related to the topic you're talking about. A shield can be one of many things depending on context. Some Sovereigns are referred to as "Shields" as they have the Shield on the reverse. There is a brand of Silver Rounds called "Silver Bullet Silver Shield" which are also referred to as shields, whatever the design. Hope this helps.
