Elsewhere, I pointed out the special 1937 [sic] dot coins. Beyond that typo, was the delusion that anything but 25c dots were released to circulation.
CCN doesn't seem to be trying to foster the hobby. The variety of articles is disappointing. There are a bunch of people on here that could create amazing articles. Are any of you ever contacted?
> I would rather see the CN Journal become a bit more scholarly in nature, and be a true numismatic, peer-reviewed, journal...
Are there enough trustworthy peers to do that review?

I think the publisher of CCN has lost interest in the publication (or at the very least he has shifted his focus), as he appears to be more focused on his new Lighthouse reseller business; which is very telling unto itself. Considering there is no material substance to CCN anymore, virtually no updates to Trends whatsoever, and the announced departure of Bret Evans, I don't see the material benefit to the hobby for the publication to continue operating. It's basically been reduced to a rag-mag of ads.

While I am accused of being a grammar Nazi on a regular basis, it's not just the grammar, spelling, and typos of CCN that are annoying. The editor professes to be a history nut, yet such things as Sir Wilfrid Laurier being a cabinet minister under prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie, and Laurier beating Macdonald in the 1891 election have been printed.

The Canadian Coin News certainly does have some "Proof Reading " issues that are not acceptable to be sure. That said , they are pretty much all we have in the form of a COMMERCIAL publication related to Canadian Numismatics. I for one will continue my subscription and support.
To all who criticize them, I am sure that a well written article as a contribution is always welcome. I am also certain that a paid ad once in awhile will be acceptable too! Hmm........... spell check on..........yup!!

Had a chance to view the Legacy II coins from the web pics and then the catalogues..
My feeling is the Sheldon scale has been moved up to 80 judging by the 64's ..65's and 66's and 67's being offered there.
All wonderful cents ,..and all with fine marks and fine scratches and soft stains as would be expected from storage going back so far.. Most called "gems or superb ultra gems" and using the new terminology as to what now qualifies as a true gem state or superior gem cent..
