CA/Todd Sandham gets a big thumbs up from me, too. One of my favorites.

I'll add nother vote for Colonial Acres.
They are a great store. And their shipping charges are much lower than most competitors. I'd recommend them to anyone on either side of the border.

Right on the money pennylover! They charge a flat rate shipping fee for XpresPost to the USA. I try to order a good bit to take advantage of the flat rate shipping. If your buying a single coin its not really worth it. I have used their free shipping deals they sometimes have on occasion.

I have no issues with Colonial, excpet a few years back I ordered a coin and weeks later I inquired about it.
They said they havent received their shipment from the mint as of yet.
I dunno, dont advertise if you dont have it.
However I have bought lots of stuff from them since then..no issues, and have met alot opf them at coin shows in the GTA..Very personable and nice people

I've been dealing with Todd since his mail order days. I only deal with dealers who are fair, have moderate prices and quality material. I have dropped many dollars at the store.

 Hi, yes I agree, I do like Colonial Acres and they have an AWESOME selection of high grade coins for sale. I recently purchased a I.C.C.S., 1908 dime, MS-65 for a reasonable price. However, I find the shipping rather slow! Glenn  |

I agree they have an interesting selection and I also agree they are slow. I tend to give more traffic to JM in Van even if it means a bit of a premium at times. I'm in Ontario too yet I still get JM shipments quicker... that's the only knock I have on Colonial. But it's been enough to make me close the browser tab and order it (whatever) from JM.

Ah yes, I guess we've all had the same slow shipping experience. I've learned the best way
to solve this problem is by ordering other stuff from other sellers a couple days before the
CA auctions end, which will keep a steady stream of coins coming to your mailbox, and keep
you from getting too anxious ;o)
I also like J&M a lot, but CA's massive online selection of stuff and combined shipping keeps
me coming back.
