Newfoundland maintained its own distinct coinage as a self-governing Dominion until Confederation with Canada in 1949, making Newfoundland coins a fascinating and historically rich collecting area. The Ottawa Mint “C” mintmark issues of 1917–1919 represent the final years of Newfoundland silver coinage production, and high-grade certified examples are actively sought by collectors of both Canadian and Newfoundland series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Coin Belongs in Your Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eImagine holding a silver quarter struck at the Ottawa Mint in 1919 for a country that no longer exists — the Dominion of Newfoundland, which would join Canada just 30 years later.
