They are working on that as their resources allow. Some BC coins were graded and then donated to museums. I do not know how many, but very few remain in private hands. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.

Silver Nickel Valued Member Canada 89 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 1:48 pm Because then we don't know which are in private collections or which ones are in museums. In total I think there is an estimated 25 patterns and if only 7 have been graded and some probably have been cracked out there is a very little amount of pieces for collectors. Sure I guess everyone can see them in museums but most of these patterns that are in museums are in storage and not shown to the public. Report this Post to the Staff
bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 8:10 pm I have found the only way to accurately find out what the various museums have in their collections is to either visit them, or correspond with them. In general, the museums do not have the resources needed to keep their online databases accurate and up to date. This is certainly true for the Bank of Canada, the British Museum, the Oxford University collection, and the Cambridge University collection. I suspect it true for nearly all the significant museum numismatic collections. As SN pointed out, most museums have very limited display area available. Most of their collections that I have seen personally are raw and stored in wooden coin cabinets. Some are spectacular. For examples, in my museum research I have examined Canada fifty cent coins dated 1888, 1890-H and 1894, all raw, and all in either 64 or 65. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.
