on Saturday a blanket tarrific of 25% was applied to all Canadian imports and immediately Canada and Mexico did the same, that is the situation untill things got paused. For any Canadians buying coins or currency under Saturdays rule would have incurred an extra 25% if from US sellers You have that wrong too - the tariffs were not supposed to actually go into effect untill Tuesday the 4th.

Thought all would like to know .
This morning we received an email
Important communication from our
3rd party freight forwarding service.
It is regarding shipments into the
USA under CBP section 321 shipments .
This is basically small pkg under 800 USD
in total value including shipping.
As of today they are spot checking (opening)
Packages coming from Canada to USA.
Your entire shipment will be disallowed if
It does not meet the following.
Your item count does not meet the pre sent
Electronic manifest .
The item in the package and the invoice do not
clearly state or show the country of Origin .
You violate any Copyright regulations.
So , for right now coins and numismatic items
are in the clear .
We are being pro active and have completely
suspended shipping anything made in China due
to the current political climate involving China / USA.
US customs also said that there are sure to be
Further changes and modifications.

Difficult to be optimistic. Feels like the beginning of the end.  |

I saw "Inside Edition" Tuesday, and laughed about the run on eggs in the US. Some areas were paying $18/19 (US) a dozen.
Maybe the "states" should ask to become provinces of Canada ?!! Free healthcare, actual education, lower crime and less gun violence, and the $4.09 (Cdn.) a dozen eggs were on sale this week for $3.77. What a country !

At the RCNA in Calgary a few years ago, some of my American friends said Canadians have free health care, it's not free we just have a different way of paying for it through HST,gas tax, higher booze tax and generally tax on everything, nothing is free Edited by john100

We pay between $3.75 and $4.25/Dozen in Ohio. My insurance is free also and I don't have to wait 7 months to see a doctor - maybe ya'll should move to Ohio  Just stay away from Toledo, Cleveland, and Columbus if you don't want to get shot - LOL!!!!!!!

After this weeks fiasco the entire relationship with the USA
has been changed forever . Took basically 14 days to destroy a friendship of nearly 200 years .
That said eggs here in BC $4.00 CAD a dozen .
Free healthcare, not a thing we pay heavy taxes
plus $98 CAD a month for extended health .
Doctor wait time in my community 1 to 3 days
Specialist usually under a month or so sometimes
much faster
Quality of life , priceless !
As to a 51st State scenario , sorry never happening .
Canada is such a diverse country would have to be
11 to 13 new States .still ain't gonna happen .
The new nightmare for the US is going to be an election
in Canada by October . The result will be a 180 turn in
direction . Now back to coins..Lol

Hey there. I'm going to hit the pause button on this thread while the mods sort out if it can be cleansed of the political elements leaving behind a purely numismatic discussion. Thx for your patience.
