Dollar ( CAD PESO ) ..... now 1.3675 as oil crashes !
This means that to buy USD as of now would cost you 1.39 minimum.
Getting nasty for CANADIANS trying to buy Choice Coins !

I kind of wish ebay would allow the seller, at the seller's discretion of course, to have the ability to accept payment in multiple currencies on the same listing. I notice some European sellers have multiple listings of the same item in different currencies. Maybe some Canadian sellers who prefer to list in US dollars might draw in a few more Canadians if there was a choice. |

The US dollar crushes Canadian buyers. Tack on the onerous Global Shipping Program and you might as well jump off a bridge. That said, if you're watching Buy It Now with Make an Offer in place you might be surprised at the bargains possible. A caveat for listers: don't include automatic refusals in such posts. How are you to know how close a potential buyer was?

Well, Colonial Acres had some really nice Elizabeth II cents in their auction Friday evening - and I lost every coin I bid on... and I was bidding for my own collection, looking for potential registry upgrades.
For high quality material, the market is still very strong...

I collect Canadian coins and I'm in the USA, Michigan specifically. I enjoy them, especially Fifty Cents and Toonies. Being that we border Canada, I get a lot of coinage from north of the border. I save the nickel minted coins and find a lot in CoinStar reject trays. Truth be told, circulating US coinage are trash. |

I agree, I'm closer to Canada than any major city in the US,I just don't buy American coins, I don't like them. Its especially nice right now given that prices on Canadian coins are very low. That is a fair point (presented earlier in the thread) that coins of rarity such as 1921 50c pieces are highly undervalued? (or US coins are overvalued) compared to a US piece of similar stature. I don't get as much Canadian change as Michigan would, but it sure is fun visiting BC every chance I get! |
