Have been collecting for over 40 years.
Principal focus is higher-end Canadian decimal circulation strikes, 1902 to present.
Also collect British Empire coinage and world silver coinage to a lesser extent.

Good evening my friend from east van rob :) I was telling you my story on ebay about getting lock out of my house, I end up just to break in the backed door! LOL :) I like collect all kind of coin - especially my favorite this one. It tells about how the old guys they fought for us so that we could talk like we think, and not fear for be criticalized.  And this note's for you too - by the way it was Neil Young birthday yesterday - "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World"  I'm think that we should be stamping out injustice especial when it is in right our backyard here.  So collect all Canada coin, note and stamp, and support right for freedoms. Merci! |

11 years ago I started collecting pennies when I was 7, just any penny I could get from change or find. When I was 12 I started collecting the old kinds of coins and actually started considering it a hobby of mine. What I collect the most is pennies because those are what my collection originated from. My 18th birthday is in 3 days and my collection is going well.  |

I first started collecting as a young boy in the mid 1950s. 5 cent nickels hooked me early on. Lots of variety, easily found in circulation and as a kid I could afford to put nickels in my collection. I still have my original penny and nickel collections from way back then. Now I am putting together a "senior" 5 cent nickel collection 1922 to date and a type set to 1967. I can afford much nicer coins now but still bring the old collections out once in a while and feel the wave of nostalgia for simpler days of collecting.

George V and VI, because my grandfather gave me a good start at age 11. But I wouldn't say I "collect" by most people's definition here. I've fleshed out a few gaps over the years but my actual collecting is infrequent. I miss the early 70s when you could still pick up silver from circulation.

Started collecting Canadian coins about 40 years ago collected everything from large cents to Silver dollars. later on got into anything that the mint produced but that got way to costly to keep up and ended up selling everything except early prooflike coins from 1950-1967 and now only try to improve on what I have.

Anything shiny goes for me  Although I shy away from NCLT for the most part (except coins with wolves, they get me every time) |
