About Me

Research scientist, Geological Survey of Canada. I am in a fortunate position as a numismatist and having access to analytical machines such as a Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) machines. Certainly makes error and planchet identification a bit easier! Numismatic author and expert in the Canadian small cent and nickel dollar series. I am a columnist for the CN Journal (RCNA) on Canadian decimal varieties (Canadian Spice), a regular contributor to the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins and part-time contributor to Canadian Coin News Trends.
