Hello, I joined for a few reasons, probably like many. I am curious what to do with all my coins!! First, my mother has given me her fathers coin collection. This is a mix of Canada and USA coins pre 1970's. She has also given me the coins she has gotten over the years. These are newer coins. I have also have a friend who has given me the coin tin from the family farm that has about 6,300 canadian pennies in it. All of them are small cents and most are 1940's to 1990's with about 90% of them being the Tiara Queen head.
I have the Charlton Guide and a magnifier that my wife bought me so I don't go blind going through these. I also have my own collection of coins which are mostly $20 Silver coins from the Canadian Mint. I started collecting with the first colorized maple leaf coin and have a slightly more that modest collection I think.
I look forward to reading posts and posting myself - Have a great day.
