Rupre07 Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 5:40 pm Well you can probably tell I'm American.. but anyways I have been roll searching lately and coming up with a lot of your guys' coins, and I LOVE the designs. So I was thinking of maybe starting a set of Canadian coins but do not know what price guide to follow. Is there an equivalent Canadian site just like this one for American coinage? http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml Report this Post to the Staff

Jerry_B Valued Member Canada 453 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 6:11 pm Here's a handy reference for Canadian cent specifications and mintages. I save pennies from 1996 and earlier, because of their higher copper content. http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/learn/1-cent-5300004 Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 10:21 pm I am also a "southerner," but have always loved the Canadian nickel series from 1922 to around the time the current effigy of HM the Queen came into use. I especially like the incredible variety of metals, shape, and design varieties from the 40s and 50s. The beautiful blue-ish cast of the different chrome plated coins, the Morse Code message "hidden" around the outside rim of the wartime "V" nickel design and the tombac issues all being used within a 10 year period make a great look when sitting in an album so close together. I have to wonder if this series holds the record for the most varieties in the shortest number of years. The best part is, almost all of these coins are very inexpensive. Only the 1925 and 1926 far 6 will take a bite out of a wallet (and the newest found variant of the 1932 far 2). Even some really nice looking tombacs with original luster can be had for a fairly inexpensive price. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

1945V Valued Member Canada 386 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 10:54 am Earle42, The nickels are my favorites as well for the same reason. Canadian nickels do have most metal types over the last 90 years: (Nickel, Tombac, Chrome plated steel, Cupronickel and Nickel plated steel). Even silver if you decide to include the small fish scales pre-1922 issues. But Canadian dollars beat the nickels in terms of single year comparatives before the mega-commemorative era of today. Dollars had commemoratives in 1935,39,49,58,64 and 67 whereas nickels in 1943,44,45,51 and 67. The record for varieties probably goes to pennies of the last 15 years (in terms of mint marks, magnetic vs non-magnetic, metal types) Edited by 1945V 01/06/2013 10:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
