Welcome Canuck to the forums!

I went to Toronto last year on vacation and had a blast ( first time I`ve been to Canada ). Very impressive city and you guys are really nice people. It`s great to have our friends to the north coming in and participating. I hope you enjoy your stay and all questions are welcome.

Welcome!

This is a GREAT place to come and learn about coins!
What area of coins do you like the most?

Hi, wanted to say thanks to all of you who have welcomed me so quick!!
First things first, please don't judge us Canadians by our government. It gets a bit embarassing watching our politicians stick their foot in their mouth every 5 minutes!!!
Was just going through e-bay looking at some of the Morgan sales and I gotta ask: Why do people go out of their way to advertise a "NO RESERVE" auction, then have a starting bid price???(quite often more than the coin is worth in the first place) Isn't it the same thing?!?!
It seems I have a lot to catch up on. When I first started collecting coins, if someone even suggested "dipping" or cleaning a coin, they would be shot and then executed. Is this dip for all coins?
Anyway, thanks again for the welcome, hope I can add something from time to time.
