TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 09/05/2009 1:11 pm Is this correct that there are 4 different twoonies for 2006? 2006 Dual Date Bottom (I Have) 2006M Dual Date Top (I Have) 2006 Single Date Bottom (I Have) 2006M Single Date Top (Don't Have) Report this Post to the Staff

bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 09/05/2009 8:49 pm Yes, I think this is correct. I also have three only; the one I'm missing is the dual date bottom, no mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 09/06/2009 03:07 am Reviewing Charltons Catalog, I only see the possibility of a coin as you list on the bottom of your list, can onlt mean that it is a part of the OPfficial First Day issue only. At least that is my impression. Dick Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 09/06/2009 3:37 pm t_y. I concur, and thank you for the info. I don't have the Gold, silver, or spec., but the rest, yes. It is very difficult for me to obtain the different examples, so I attempt to buy, when the opportunity presents itself, (and I am able to make my move). A favor: Do you happen to have the same info, but pertyaining to 2007, 2008, and what ever there is availablr for 2009? I have the 62nd ED. of Charltons Catalogue, I do have coimns for the years noted. thanks again for your response, Dick Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 09/06/2009 5:25 pm I guess I am more interested in the regular varieties of a particular date (ex. top date, bottom date, mint mark, dual date, etc...)rather than the finish the coin has or its precious metals counterpart.

t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 09/06/2009 5:36 pm business strikes are more interesting mainly because the errors one can find (in my opinion) but it is a short series and easy to get and complete - the more expensive coin can be found for 350.00 and all business strikes can be fished out of circulation. There are no rarities (outside errors) or expensive coins truth is, as I already said many times, if I sell all my twoonies I won't have enough money to buy a top 1948 dollar.

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 09/07/2009 12:51 am t_y, thanks for the long list! I was expecting the '07, '08, '09, but you made the whole list for me, as it turns out. I don't know of a particular numbering system, (and it would be helpful for one who is not familiar with the Canadian coinage, other than that which is in the Catalogues. It would make detrermining which item one has in hand, to identify) The cataliogue has the pertinant information, but no system which would identify which particular coin one has in hand. I think your numbering system will serve you well, and in view of no other alternative, I too, will use it as well, thank you! Our system is easy to understand. If you can read the date, you have the coin. Now that does NOT apply to those of us who seek varieties, that DIE varieties. There the cheese gets very binding! But that is another subject. I search foe the varieties of the cents, because they are easier to obtain, and I also have a short list of varieties, many that are not well known, but one of your Canadian feriends, has a book with about 2000, give a few, or take a few. Those, and the die clash are my favorites. Thanks again for taking time to list all the ones you listed. I made a print=out, and it will come in very hande, in the coming years. If some of the words are not spelled right, it is not due to my spelling abilities. On the contrary. I am legally blind, and do not see the key I intend to use everytime, and it is a bit confusing, trying to read what comes out. I attempt to proof-read, but that only makes it worse. I can't make a line, and put the pen back in the same spot, twice in a row. I use a scope for viewing my coins, and use the camser software for placing an image on a monitor, or the TV screen. If it is BIG, I can see enough to see details, too. It comes with the territory. I'm 85. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 09/07/2009 07:22 am ... and that explain your alias LOL !! my spelling is alright but my grammar ... oh my! English is not even my second language but I will survive, hopefully sharp for as long as you I am in the process of writing the "TTB" - Twoonie, The Book therefore the numbering system and more importantly a rarity scale (currently with 7 grades) and a grading system (I keep saying bimetallic coins have to be graded taking into account everything in its fabrication is different from the usual (boring) unimetal - anyone who ever had in hand an unimetal twoonie (errors) will understand what I mean) are important. (one has to breath somewhere in the middle of the sentence to understand it) Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 09/11/2009 02:10 am You guys have it made, living in Canada! You don't have any trouble getting the PL, and proof sets, etc. I am trying to continue several sets that I bought some time back, and need some way to buy them, here in the US. No problem buying the "mint" sets, (PL equivalent), and the prood, both clad, ansd silver proof sets from the mint, here in the US.. I have a question, but I'm not sure you can help, with it. I tried to join the.....( I can't recall the letters, but it is the PL, and uncircuulatged club). I thought they could help. But, I can't get in, logged in, or even register. Any explanation? thanks in advance, Dick Edited by livingdinasaur 09/11/2009 02:14 am Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 09/11/2009 07:25 am LD, I know of a few reputable dealers well stocked in PL sets. The ones I always get good service are https://www.jandm.com/systemhome.htm (click on the "catalog" button on the top left) and http://www.colonialacres.com/home.shtml There is a bigger dealer of RCM material but I ALWAYS had problems with them Once I heard about a Canadian PL collectors club, but I think they are no longer supporting a website. Maybe others can help you Report this Post to the Staff
