I am trying to fill the exact same album. I am missing 1921-27, 1930-31 and more, but I won't list them all here, unless asked. Good luck filling your album.

the 4 proofs I got off of Ebay Why proofs? Your collection seems to be coming along great with business strikes. Business strikes from the post-proof era (1981-2012) are very inexpensive. Please don't adulterate your set. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

How long did it take you to get your Canadian Cent collection to where it is today? Honestly... about 2 weeks. I got contacted by a member on here stating she would help me complete it. So I went to LCS and checked out what small cents he had. Pretty much 75% what I have there. He charged 4 cents for each after 1935 and 20 cents before 1935. Didn't matter the condition. One member here I traded a few coins I had for a few small cents and another member sent me 2 full rolls of mixed dates. She doesn't know it but I reciprocated with her favorite coins :) (Surprise package is coming for her) So 2 weeks from when I got the first email to when I got the 2 rolls. I also spent $40 and picked up the mostly missing ones, only missing the expensive ones. Edited by hfjacinto

For $40 I picked up 18 coins from Allen's coin shop and 8 coins from ebay. Including the w proofs. Leaving me with 4/5 missing. Total cost was $43 plus the album at $20 and the trades. |

This wasn't planned but I like going to my LCS and he'll let me rummage through his "junk" drawers. It's crazy what you can find just searching through "junk"

Last coins I ordered are the first ones here. I guess it takes longer to get coins from Canada ;)
The order from Allens is out for delivery, lets hope that USPS actually delivers it today. I'll post pictures.

Package came in. Well packed and super fast shipment.  The coins came in a separate package.  The coins, you'll notice there was also a 1892 Liberty nickel, the 1892 and 1894 were the most worn of the group I was given so I wanted to upgrade those 2.  |
