Couple days ago I posted this link, about Whitman's Canadian's type set. https://goccf.com/t/179602Since I am now switching to the Dansco albums for this set, I thought I needed to start it's own post. I feel this will become one of my favorite sets, Like my U.S. type set Dansco 7070. I bought these off ebay, it is a two album set 7210/7211. The set-up is different than Whitman albums, Dansco has the coins in ruler groups. Elizabeth coins followed by all the Edward coins, through Elizabeth II. Last labeled coins is 1989, dates to 1993. A few empty holes I think will take it too 1999. So far I have been filling the holes with coins I have been putting away for the past couple years. Some of them are in pretty bad condition, I hope in the future I can fill it with much better grade coins. Also, right now I have some newfoundland (NFLD) coins as hole fillers, not really sure if it is proper to put NF in these spots, but I do like NFLD coins.     Album One has three pages page One    Page two   Page three   Album two has five pages page one    Page two    Page three    Page four    Page five    |

Is this book as expensive to fill as the US 7070? I would love to do one but don't want two sets that take that much cash to fill.

Some of the early coins in mid to higher grades will get into the hundreds. I am thinking a lot of the early half dollars and dollars will cost be $30 to $50. A couple coins will be more than that. |

I just had a look at that set... it's AWESOME.. I love it!
You could probably fill some of those holes if you put up a want list on the CCF thread...
Make sure you give updates when you make additions.. I really want to see this set grow..as I said.. it looks GREAT!

Filling this set will give me some direction, at least for a couple months. Your comment about posting a want list, brings up some questions for me. I am still waiting for my Charlton price guide, so I am not sure what are good price ranges. I do check coinandcanada site. I just would like a guide in hand. (I have the 2014 guide coming, but media mail ..slow) Do you think buying from CCF members would be in line with ebay prices? When I buy on ebay, I have been staying with U.S. auctions. Would I have any problems with shipping from Canada? If I buy from the 3 local shops I deal with, I get a lot of the common coins at melt. So I am not sure how much I will like going above that. Of course if they are better coins in better condition .. I don't mind paying a fair price. |

You will have absolutely no problems receiving coins from Canada. I lot of us ship to the US with no issues at all.

The guide is just that.. a guide and in my opinion for most coins it's inflated in prices... You should be able to get a better price from a CCF member than e-bay... only because the same person with the same coin wouldn't have to incur listing and selling fees... I realized that you're in the states.. so I don't know if a copy of the Canadian Coin News is readily available... but if you're looking for a ball park figure on many canadian coins I would happy to mail you the trends prices excerpt .. just e-mail me your address... If grade really isn't an issue I know I could probably fill most of those holes for you... (by the way I think it's AWESOME you used newfie coins in the set... I love newfie coins and I think it just adds a little something extra!) .. but there may be others here on CCF that could probably also get you really high grades of the coins you're looking for.. - make a list of what you need and post it.... (let me know when you do) I think there's a lot of holes that can be filled for a very reasonable price. With respect to buying from Canadain ebay sites.. I have never sold on ebay so I really wouldn't know.. but I would imagine that the only major stepping stone would be the shipping and customs.. (which really is only a headache on big items or large value items.) |

AgCoinAu thanks again for your very informative post.
I will have to start a list and see what is available here on CCF.
I think on the more expensive coins I would have no problem buying good eye appeal coins in the VF/XF range.
For the common coins AU/BU/PL will be what I am looking for.
Overall I would like to have just a nice looking set of coins.
Of course I am open to any opinion from the Canadian collectors ... I am sure they know more about what are good coins then I do.
I may have to post partial lists at first. So I can stay at a comfort level for coin purchases, maybe $100 or less. Will there be any problems with payment or exchange rates? paypal?

I'm really not sure... I guess it will all depend on who you buy from...
I've used paypal a lot when buying and never had an issue.. but usually when buying privately I stick with EMT's... I guess it will be all the seller's preferance... I haven't had many deals here on CCF... but I'm sure most people are very reasonable... and keen to help out with your collection really.
