Well, maybe better I was "bullied" into starting a Canadian Large Cents collection. You can see all the Canadian Collectors "bully" me here http://goccf.com/t/366497



I found a few coins locally in the lCS junk bin. I also found a few more coins that were in a 2 by 2 and since many of these are decades old, I was able to pick them up inexpensively.

And one of the very generous posters on CFF got me a really great price for most of my missing coins. I still need to get an album and the keys but since I was "bullied" into getting the large cents, I may as well chronicle my collection.

Here is what I have now. I was able to get one in AU and another in MS

That's a pretty good bunch of Canadian large cents and very good pick ups if you shopped for them in the U S A Congratulations on your collection

If there's anything that you need, I've got every variety known to the collecting field. I have over 3,000 Vickies, with about 1000 just 1859's. Send me a PM when you get a chance for any scarcer needs, but I don't sell with ebay or auctions outside. Also, try to find the 2011, 65th edition of Charlton's (maybe from Abe's books) which has the variety section for Vickies in the back (that 4 of us co-wrote). At our coin club meeting last night in Hamilton, I put some things in the auction. I had a set of all the 1902-1910 Eds in VF or better, without the '07H (which I sold separately). It was the only lot that remained unsold for $25 Canadian (less than $20US).

With the large cents, you can build a very nice set for fairly small money. I'd suggest Dale Shafer in Tulsa if you want another dealer ..very good and reasonable. I spend lots of time in Okla when I get South of the border here. Good luck on your endeavors.

Everyone of these except for one of the 1859 was local. The LCS said I was the first person in over a decade to look through the box of Canadian large cents.

Nothing quite like bully motivation.
Well done.

Album is here and I just got home, I'll get it filled tonight but instead of getting bad pictures today. I'll just set up the DSLR and get good pictures tomorrow you'll have to wait :)

I have spaces for about 17 extra coins, so this is what I'm doing:

About 12 spaces will get filled with Provincial large cents, not a complete collection (well maybe PEI and NB as they only had 1 year)
The other 5 will include 2 Victoria, the godless 1911 and 2 others (probably George V as I have 2 extra)
