Poll Question
 >WOW, ever wonder what kind of Canadian coinage everyone else collects? >Ever wonder why some dates of some Monarchs are sooo hard to acquire despite the high mintages?(maybe everyone else is after one!) >Ever feel there is someone out there you can trade coins with if you only could find a collector with same interests? >Below I've listed a short grouping of Canadian coinage types to find out what coinage C.C.F. members collect, because inquiring minds want to know! (You only have one choice so pick your FAVOURITE, and if by chance I left out what your primary collecting coinage is~sorry, I ran out of space)

Didn't see mine listed so no vote.
I have a Small Cent set 1920 to date and am working on a one of every KM# circulation set.
I have to agree with ElleKitty's post below on the NCLT's. Not my cup of tea!

Cents, both large and small. I have a very nice collection of small cents missing only a few varieties and modern mint marks. I'm still working on the large cents, although I doubt I'll ever be able to find them all. :)
I definitely prefer circulation coins over NCLT, although you'll catch some examples like the $3 beaver coin, the 2004 poppy token test set, and some silver Maple Leafs in my collection.

Anything and everything, but I'm not really into mint sets. I'm not specializing in any particular monarch or denomination.

You mean Queen Elizabeth II (1953-2008), or you really got something rare there.  I make joke...sorry!  That's cool that people can specify there interests so concisely. I'm all over the map  and collect what I like. I have no preference for NCLT, proofs, circulation, etc. I find some obverse I like, like say angels...then get a decent example of each. No concern for mints, years or whatever...but a collection of obverses in ag or au only. I started as an investor, so I usually don't pay much over spot, but I'll treat myself occasionally, and there's always that must have! Odd  sure, but it puts less boredom into a collection of otherwise  mundane investing, and over the years I learned a lotta stuff. Some of it interesting  |

My Canadian collecting area is not really covered there - I am only working on a Canadian Type Set in the old Dansco albums.  |

I collect Canadian silver dollars, 1935-1967. Large in size, varied in design, and easy on the wallet.
Of course, back at the time those things must have been hard on the pockets...

Like ElleKitty, I'm interested in the circulating coins from all periods. Having to choose just one period, I voted George VI. I find the changes the 5¢ went through from the beginning of his reign through to the end particularly fascinating.
