I was just reading an article online about the book... "The Official Red Book®—a Guide Book of United States coins". Does Canada have its own version of the "The Official Red Book"?

I was at Chapters last weekend and there isn't much of a selection for Canadian Numismatics. Most of Numismatic books have to be ordered to the store and most of the books are based on American coins.

I mostly want a book with pictures of Canadian coins and give a guide to how much Canadian Coins are worth among collectors.


Thanks for the info.

James.

Most recommended coin literature for Canadian coins are >The Charlton Coin Catalogue and The Canadian Coin News bi-monthly news magazine. These two said items not only have the latest prices and great articles on coins, dealers, sellers and buyers, they'll also tell you the mintages of all the coins and the Varieties that are HOT!

James, that's a Buyers book, the one that you need is the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins 62nd edition.
