AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 09/08/2014 12:16 pm I'm really not concerned about numbers... I'm not looking for catalogues... more information on either the history of the coins.. or how and why they were made... types of varieities.. that sort of thing... The pdf.. was a good read.. thanks for sharing... I saw that series of books (although there was only a sample pdf..) the BoC website... nice books... Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 09/08/2014 12:51 pm Here are some good ones: Standard Catalogue of Canadian Municipal Trade dollars (5th edition, 2008), by Serge Pelletier Any of the Hans Zoell variety catalogues, are interesting, but generally tougher to find and sometimes cost a bit to get them. His complete biography is here: http://www.cevna.com/articles/HansZoellBio.pdf There is a very cool, and exhaustive book, on US and Canadian milk tokens, by Melvin Reiter: http://www.amazon.com/Catalog-Dairy...p/0945008090 Rob Turner's first book, The 1858 Cents of Provincial Canada, is highly recommended. In the introductory chapters, there is a fascinating read on the events leading to Canada's first coinage... Rob's books are listed here: http://www.victoriancent.com/books.html "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 09/08/2014 12:52 pm Lastly, if you are a member of the RCNA, you can have online access to the CN Journal right back to the first edition. There is fascinating reading there...

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 09/09/2014 9:41 pm I was looking for something from Hans Zoell on maritime coinage but none were available on Amazon at the moment.. I really haven't gotten into the large cents as of yet but I think that may be one of my next explorations so I will definitely keep the books by Rob Turner in my head. I also did look at the RCNA web site prior to your suggestion.. I currently am not a member of the RCNA.. but the ability to read all the back issues is quite an incentive and probably well worth the membership fee alone. -BTW- SPP are you involved with the library from the RCNA in some way? Just curious as the contact info they had on their page was someone from sherwood park... I just figured it might be you. I did end up picking up the following books.. Striking Impressions Coin clinic - 1001 FAQ's Coin chemistry and preservation Coins of Canada Standard grading guide for canadian and colonial decimal coins The official blackbook price for world coins 2010 ed 13th Collecting rare coins for pleasure and profit A guide book of canadian coins With any luck and with what little spare time I have over the winter months I hope this will keep me busy, out of trouble and off the auction sites for awhile..

persistnt Pillar of the Community Canada 726 Posts	Posted 09/09/2014 9:48 pm The coin clinic was great.., I also read an old version of the Preservation one as well.,. It is informative to a collector- type of info You don't really get elsewhere.., good choices Ag C.,. I have been off the sites for couple months now- I'll try to stay off maybe til late Spring as I find coins higher price in winter.,.

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 09/09/2014 10:12 pm Yes this is the year where I would like to spend more on books and education than I do on coins.... (exception is any bullion) Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/10/2014 09:56 am ..and if you're in the mood for a little down time and a fun read there is "Newton and the Counterfeiter" .. Newton was also the 'Master of the Mint' in London when he also had some down time ..and was basically taking a small break from rewriting our knowledge of gravity.. Too bad that we're not allowed to apply the same "rules of order" to today's counterfeiters. Report this Post to the Staff
