James Croghan New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 2:45 pm Hi all, My family has come into possession of James Croghans entire coin collection. Amongst the coins we found some books written by James Croghan entitled "Canadian cent varieties". A search of the book led us to this forum, so we thought we would make a post about the collection to get some knowledgeable opinion on it. This picture is just a small sample of the entire collection. There are literally hundreds of coins. Edited by James Croghan 07/25/2019 2:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

You will find several knowledgeable collectors on those here on this forum. If there are any Canada large cents in the collection, I would be happy to assist, as would other collectors here. Your photos look like British pennies. CCF also has a United Kingdom forum, where I am sure they can help with those.

James Croghan New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 7:34 pm The full collection is quite large. Thousands of coins, and plenty of Canadian pennies and nickles. A large amount of variety coins I think he was attempting to catalog. Lots of Canadian coins, british coins, US coins, as well as coins from various south american countries. I guess I just need to know what to look out for, and perhaps it'll be the start of a new hobby! Haha Report this Post to the Staff
