I guess you're just an easy "mark" hfjacinto.

Be careful .... or you may soon be wearing a Toque, drinking Tim Hortons, watching hockey and saying "sorry".

BTW I looked at the 5 cents... do you people think I'm made out of USD? Those coins aren't cheap. The 1921 is $$$$ and the 1858-1920 are all $$$.

Sorry but no EH!

It's cheaper collecting Canadian gold

But honestly, I'm going to get an MS Victoria large cent and then I'm going to save up for the 1909 S VDB. I also want to finish the ASE. So no more Canadian coins for me. I'll have to leave it with what I completed

But being serious once I started the small cents I knew I was going to complete the large cents and once I found out about the maritime coins I knew I wanted samples (still missing a New foundland small cent, which I'll get when the LCS opens up)

I'll post the MS Victoria when I find one that I like at a price I like even more.

And to all the Canadian collectors that helped me, I appreciate the bullying

Nickel dollars you could get at face value-it you don't want varieties and would settle for AU-UNC. Maybe it is too easy to bother with.

I didn't realize it was competition, but like I stated before, lots of people have better collections than me, but I'm extra happy with my sets

Is there this much "bullying" on the Australian threads? I may need to move there

Of course I knew that. They don't circulate here either! In fact they never really circulated much.

What I meant is that anyone in Canada (maybe even me) could easily get the lot for you from a LCS (whenever they re-open) for close to face value plus shipping. The shipping would probably be as much as the coins (weight 350 grams). Coins about $20 Can (US$14 now).

No competition just letting you know that all is possible no matter where you are.
Love your large cent collection and keep going (we will get you onto Varieties soon)
