freeqgirl Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 6:24 pm Hello again. I am looking for help on finding information on the minting processes that were used from the large cents to the modern cents for Canadian coins. I would like to compare and contrast the differences between Canadians and US coinage. OR, where the processes the same? Would anyone be able to help on this one? I have scoured the web, wikipedia, and even emailed the RCM, which of course, was of no help whatsoever. Thanks in advance!! :) ~Amy Report this Post to the Staff

There is no finer layout and explanation of everything than in Rob's book. It is very expensive, but he is a person that you should try to contact, just to talk to a guru ... and he's a friend of mine who lives out in Vegas. Report this Post to the Staff

Sounds like it would be well worth it in the long run anyways. I appreciate you and your help again!! Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 9:34 pm If you are a Large Cent person, Rob has written 4 books and each has a die tracker guide in the back for some specific dates.... 1858, 1859/8, 1890, 1891, 1892. But the real value is all the study and research that went into each of them. He has a website. Report this Post to the Staff

Terry Campbell's 1995 book on Canadian errors has some information.
