Well I hate to say it John Regitko who write for the Canadian Coin And News is not 100% wrong all the time. In this month issue he list 3 of Rob Turner Books as well researched for those Large Cent Collects.I would strongly suggest DIES & Diadems as your first book to read I bought the book and give you a great insight on the Vicky's and answers the how what and why.

It may seem expensive but it is well worth the money. I love Victorian cents.  |

What you get out of Rob's books is well worth the cost of the education you will receive out of his book. I'm a more informed collector since reading his book I own 3 of them.

I agree with everything said above about Rob Turner's books. They should be an indispensible part of any coin library and one of the first items purchased. I also agree with the statement about John Regitko not being a bell-ringing endorsement.

Absolutely no mention of the long standing column on errors (Oops of the Month) in the CN Journal and no mention of the monthly variety column (Canadian Spice) in the CN Journal....
Henry's writing on errors in the CN Journal, is probably the best resource in Canada, for fully explained error types.

It's not too late to treat yourself to one of Rob's books with Christmas just around the corner.. Here are 2 examples of his hard work. Hard cover and a spiral edition..including amazing colour photos galore..You will not be disappointing...  |

> Well I hate to say it John Regitko who write for the Canadian Coin And News is not 100% wrong all the time I wish the same thing could be said about Brett Evans. He seems to make a bonehead error in every article. Now, to his credit the pics of the evolution of the caribou on coinage are AMAZING. Never saw those before. But: "Concerned about shortages, the RCM struck 1937-dated one-cent, 10-cent, and 25-cent coins, adding a small dot to mark their posthumous status" Even if you forgive 1937 for 1936, there is no evidence the mint ever OFFICIALLY produced one-cent and 10-cent dots. All the existing examples are either trials or Occam's Razor backdoors. |

CCN and their editors, do they ever proof read anything?

I believe the cover story of the 1876 Lrg Cent answers that question
