The 2014 edition will really tell you nothing about the large cents. Every year, the back 80-100 pages are dedicated to varities of a specific denomination/monarch. The 2011 was on Vicky large cents. The 2014 edition is earlier 50 cent pieces and is Paul Glover's (a friend of mine) work. Last year ...

Thank you once again, Bill. CAC should put you on the payroll. haha!

It's a #2. The crown tip impinges on the bead at the top, the neck truncation doesn't end just above the bead over the C (it's between them), and the left foot on the N in Regina has the serifs on both sides equal length (the Obv 1 will have a longer one on the right, inside one). And, with all Obv...

Hello All, Hoping someone could help me identify which 1884 obverse I have here. #1 or #2? Second, is calling this VG- too generous (Clearly, I've been in the states too long, having joined in on the +/- grading bandwagon haha)? Much appreciated, Steve http://www.coinsandcanada.com/forum/class/test/...

Why do you want to waste money with a Third Party Grader when you can see what you have? You are not interested in any grade that they will assign .. only that it's off-center. Unless a coin is worth $100 or so (and I mean what you can actually SELL it for, not what a book says), then it's not wort...

Hello All, Just looking for a little help with grading this Upper Canada One Penny Token. I'm rather new to pre-Confederation coinage/tokens. Plus, one man's EF is another's AG lol. I'm starting to understand that die cracks are rather common(ish) with these and the half pennies (assuming it does no...

...and, forgot to mention the 20-25 degree rotation of the '59 as well. Thanks again!

Hi Bill, Thank you for replying. While I can't seem to get the loupe/phone camera combo to take any better photos, I did take it back to the dealer I know and trust. He and his assistant were both certain that it is double stamping on the nine. With that said... there is what appears to be a DC abov...

It will be taking a few week 'holiday' with the good folks over at NGC.

Hi All... Made a good haul down here in the states today (Michigan). I was thrilled that my local dealer held back a 1964 off-centre error coin, and only wanted a buck. Anyway, he whips out a bag, and says "I kept these for you -- they came in yesterday." It was a bag of 51 large pennies. ...

Got this for a buck today... in the States. Actually, purchased a BUNCH of things today. For less than a poutine. (Will be posting in general coin question area about the Victoria & George V haul that came with this). 'Merica! Any premium for these off-centres back 'at home'? http://www.coinsand...

Stumbled across this... Thank goodness the 'flip it over and take a look' switch went off. Would have tossed this gem of an error in the 'recycle' pile. Extensive end-to-end damage. Different die cracks all over. I see the delam element. But this thing (pic may not be doing it justice) has several d...

In regards to the Queen's short-lived original hairstyle, a side-by-side with the new is quite striking actually. I hope this helps you, and anyone else that may be satanically challenged, see into the dark side http://www.moneymuseum.ca/images/DevilsFace.jpg Cheers Thank you for the side-by-side. ...

The feedback is much appreciated!! Thank you.

Is there a paper guru out there who could tell me what I have here? (I'm assuming face value) but I can't seem to find match-up the serial numbers, for the two in particular, on any online resource guides. $1: L/O 8358431 Beattie/Rasminsky (I've come to the conclusion this is a face value note). $2:...
