Fingers crossed! Are you planning to show off the finished? album? From photos earlier it looks mostly complete with the exceptions you mentioned.

Thanks All!

I was getting frustrated with all the shipping issues but everything turned out right (well I still don't have my money from the first 1858, but there is claim opened already), I'm happy I was bullied into completing this set. I would never complete the US Large Cents so completing the Canadian series is as good :)

It depends really. If you're like me and finding anything above say F-12 is good enough, it can be pretty inexpensive (unless you shop for varieties, then the price skyrockets). I've filled about 2/3 of the silver 5 cents in my album for around 150 dollars which is respectable for a low mintage series. 1884 and 1875 however... that I could understand would get very pricey very fast. They're still unique and worth a shot in my opinion!

I'm still missing an MS version of the large cents, hoping to get it when the world gets back to normal. But I want to call it.








The Canada Large Cents are complete!

Nickel dollars would be a cheap and easy set to complete (1968-1986).... just sayin'
