I'm not sure what its like in the US but here dealers charge a ridiculous premium for American coins which is why most Canadians do what has been suggested above, collect what we find in our change. Our coins are cheap for us, early 1900s large cents are like a buck a piece here in very nice condition but on your side of the border that price goes up significantly to like 5-10, shield pennies there are cheap here, they are 5$. That leaves us the choice of high prices, pocket change or ebay. I would suggest you talk to some of the Canadian collectors if you want to make sets of our circulating coins and do exchanges ... some of ours that you need for some of yours that we need. I am sure lots of collectors would be interested in trading circulated coins with you, I know I would ... and I agree with one of the above posted comments, we do have some interesting coinage here in the great white north, alot of it you never get to see down there except at dealers and ebay. I for one hate paying more than a coin is worth just to have it which usually means I go without. Trade, trade trade ... its a good way to make sets :)

My parents and sister went to Niagra Falls for the weekend. I gave them the six rolls of Canadian cents, two rolls of nickels, one roll of dimes, one roll of quarters, six loonies, and a toonie I've found this past year to exchange for two Canadian $10 bills and two of their $5 bills when they cross the border.
