Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 09/16/2006 5:29 pm Dennis, I forgot to mention that you need to have 50 posts before we can trade or sell. That is my fault for not letting you know earlier. When you have 50 posts I will be happy to trade or buy from you. Report this Post to the Staff
fastfords1 Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 09/16/2006 7:05 pm OOPS..Pardon me Irishraider, I'm still new without a clear understanding of the rules, obviously. I'll go back for a re-reading of the rule book right away. As it happens, I will most likely be able to help soon, since I like this forum so much I will probably go into a posting frenzy for awhile at least...so many interesting topics and KNOWEDGABLE people/collectors, and so little time to soak it all in!!! Best Regards, Dennis Report this Post to the Staff
coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 05:49 am When the new design (old design- 1953 coronation medal) 2002 50 cent coin were newly released, they were in circulation for a while. They were soon taken out of circulation by collectors. The nickel types are officially a circulating coin, but I have not seen more than 1 to 5 examples in a cash drawer in a year. When it was closer to 1968, they were in circulation, but as the issues got smaller, the coins disappeared. The silver issued did circulate, even the commemorative 1967 when silver was going sky high in price. Report this Post to the Staff

Mynt Valued Member Sweden 79 Posts	Posted 10/07/2006 05:05 am I guess I could be considered an official collector too now. I acquired only a handful of Canadian coins about 15 years ago when I was a kid, and never thought anything of it until I went through it last year. Some of my latest purchases have been earlier Canadian stuff, so it's safe to say I'm hooked. Report this Post to the Staff

steve kuznicki Valued Member Canada 166 Posts	Posted 10/07/2006 2:11 pm I collected American coins for 40 years and gave up a few years ago when I held a 1995 proof silver eagle (that I owned) and realized that (a coin with 35,000 examples extant) was going for around $6,500. I decided this was ridiculous and doomed to failure in the long run. I moved to Canada a couple of years ago and started collecting silver dollars (especially proof like) about a year ago. You can buy some dollars that are in the best 10 graded by any major service for under $1,000 on occasion and $5K can sometimes buy a "named" (as in from a famous collection) unique rarity. I LOVE IT. IT IS FUN TO COLLECT AGAIN. BACK IN THE STATES YOU CAN ALL GO BROKE AS THE BABY BOOMERS START SELLING OFF THEIR INFLATED "TREASURES"!!!!! GLAD TO BE OUT OF THAT PART. quote: Originally posted by scoutjim99 Iw as just curious to see how many people collected Canadian coinage and or currency Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 11/19/2006 03:34 am I can remember collecting Canadian coins back in the late 1950's, while still in high school. During the early 1960's I really got with it and bought numerous Canadian coins, especially the silver dollars. Although I must admit I went long periods of time without collecting them, I would have to say I've been a collector of Canadian coins for nearly 50 years. Report this Post to the Staff
SE Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 11/19/2006 07:51 am I have collected Canadian coins as long as I have U.S.. Having lived on Manitoulin Island. my childhood days I guess it was inevitable. Anyone ever hear of the Haweater dollars from Manitoulin? Report this Post to the Staff
fastfords1 Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 11/22/2006 09:11 am Hi Steve, I believe the Manitoulan Haweater dollars are a long running Trade dollar series? dMy question for you is, do you have any knowledge on an actual coin for the island? Seems I remember hearing/reading about just one for Manitoulan some years past. Report this Post to the Staff

LlacerSBD New Member Spain 40 Posts	Posted 01/12/2007 1:14 pm Hello Collecting coins from all world, the countries with many commemorative coins, like Canada, are erased with a cross. But, I'm specially care with the Canadians provinces. -Newfounland -Nova Scotia -New Brunswick And, of course the Lower Canada and Quebec. With a legend on English and French, they have a nice history. I have a few coins of this kind, but looking for information is very exciting. Best regards Joan Report this Post to the Staff
