Two General Questions on Canadian Coins

GritsMan

I've been getting so many Canadian nickels while searching rolls of Jeffs that I'd like to start a collection. Two questions:

1) What's the best Canadian version of the "Redbook"?

2) Could anyone suggest a solid dealer from whom I could order the above as well as a Canadian nickel album or folder?

Thank you!

I second what Gene said.

Sneed:

Where do you live? Close to the Canadian border? I haven't searched Jeff rolls for a very long time now, but I haven't seen hardly any Canadian change either lately. Not that I'm too very close to Canada (Pennsylvania), but I also think it may have something to do with the exchange rate closing the gap in recent years. Before, it paid to pass-off a few nickels, etc in U.S. rolls, but not so much now.

So what dates do you need to complete a set? Maybe I can be of some assistance.

Hey, thanks everyone! I'll check into this tomorrow.

And Dave, I live in Montana, so a lot of Canadian change shows up. I seem to get one nickel for every 5 or so rolls of Jeffs. Right now, I just want to see what I can find in the rolls, but thank you! I will definitely keep your offer in mind. I'm just kind of treasure hunting at the moment and want to get a feel for the mix. After all the talk about the nickel content of various Canadian eras, I was surprised to get a couple from the Sixties in my last batch and so want to see if that was just an anomaly. Plus, those beavers are so cute!

That it is, but PA ain't too shabby either. I've worked there often and always love it. AND, I always meet exceptionally friendly people there!

In the PHILLY area?

Yep--Charlton is the way to go. I have one and it is fantaxtic!
