Saint Ninian Valued Member Canada 95 Posts	Posted 05/31/2012 5:12 pm I am a humble beginner at collecting Canadian coins. I am very aware that this is a complex subject, and can only be mastered by careful fact gathering combined with "hands on" experience. When using my Charlton reference book , looking for varieties etc., I find it hard to get all the info that I want for a particular coin. Example;- Page 107 Five cents. 2003 p-- plated 2003WP-- is that for "Winnipeg?" Where is it on the coin? I realize it's rare-- but where should a beginner look for a w? Is there a Canadian Coins for Dummies? I love this hobby! Also-- I see the blue coin-holder blue booklets on ebay for about $4.00--$5.00. Is there a way to get them directly from the manufacturer. Would that be cheaper? Report this Post to the Staff

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 05/31/2012 7:43 pm The W is for Winnipeg. The P is for Plated. It depends on the year and the coin but they are most frequently centred below the Queen. Sometimes the W will appear off to the right though. Report this Post to the Staff
