Poll Question
 Here's a Poll for those C.C.F. Members who collect Canadian Decimal, as I do also. The Canadian Coinage I'm speaking of are from the years 1858-1967 (business strikes); and here is the simple question: "When you collect, what is your PRIMARY goal of collecting?" Please pick one of the answers listed below: Glenn

I'm working on a complete type set (1867-Present) of all the denominations (excl. Gold) in addition to adding other coins that I like and can afford.

What? We're supposed to have goals when we do this coin collecting thing? Nobody told me that back when I started.  The closest thing I have to a "goal" with Canadian coins is similar to what chris86 said: a type set of Canadian and Provincial circulating coinage. Except I've never really taken the effort to sit down and work out which "types" I'm still missing. In practice, my Canadian collection is a very, very incomplete every-date-type-mintmark-and-major-variety collection. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I concentrate on small cents and nickels but have to say I hang onto a bunch of other single coins. I like the dollars too and have maybe 30 or so different ones.

Too bad we only get 1 vote with all those choices.

I collect all Canadian denominations by type, up to 1967. I have competed my non silver 5 cents set, up to that date. I have an early Charlton's to help me.
I even have a 1913 $10!
The obverse of that coin reminds me strongly of what a gold Australian Half Penny, of the same date, would look like. (If we ever had one, that is!)

I collect by date range, from 1858 to present...quality & variations are not paramount, just getting one from each date...but I have started collecting some error/varieites...oh-oh, a new obsession begins...

I collect all six decimals,including varieties, nothing lower than VG8. Of course my budget prevents me from collecting pre 1937 silver.

I collect circulation strikes in all decimals from 1902 to present.
Minimum grade varies with monarch and denomination, but varies between VF20 and MS65.
Some interest in major varieties. Little interest in errors.
