hfjacinto, the real fun begins when you go after all the varieties of Queen Victoria large cents from 1858-1901. I don't think you would find them in the US might have to visit e-bay but first try to find the 2011 Charlton Canadian coins 65th edition that should be your first goal look in the back pages and have fun

So much "bullying" on these Canadian forum

Why you all making me buy more coins

But being serious I do appreciate the advice but I'm not a variety collector. I have an idea to get a few Provencial large cents and I'm sticking with it

The last page has a lot of blanks, I'm going to get 10 Large cents of the provinces and put them in, the others will include the different Obverses of the Dominion large cents.

Whats funny is that the Lighthouse album has an MS 1912, my only MS coin is the 1912. SEE it was destiny to get the Lighthouse and Large Cents.

Ordered a few Provencial coins to fill in the blank spaces. With the CAD dollar low compared to the USD, the prices are good on CAD coins. If I can convince the wife to let me borrow money from the savings I would get the missing keys :) but I doubt it so they will have to wait :(

Coolest thing about being "bullied" into doing this collection is that o like to learn. The history of Canada is very interesting as is the history of the coins of Canada and the maritime provinces.

I especially liked the coins PEI and Newfoundland. So to all the "bullies" , thank you!!

More likely the sled dogs chased after a squirrel :) could be weeks before I get my package. Since it came from Canada I wonder if it's smells like maple syrup

The USPS sometimes is perfect then other times it's like today. The package from Canada says out for delivery. They don't deliver it and then at 9 PM mark it as delivered. Which means I may get it tomorrow. Now I have to call the USPS local P.O. to find out where the package is. Last time this happened the mail person left it in the back of the truck for a few days. USPS sucks !
