CANADIAN COINS AND TOKENS
Marvel at the Treasures of Our Northern Neighbor
From The Whitman Review
An informal poll in early 2011 suggests that more than 40% of U.S. coin collectors
also collect Canadian coins. This comes as no surprise to enthusiasts such as
award-winning researcher James A. Haxby, a numismatist known throughout the
hobby community as a distinguished expert on Canadian coinage. Now, Dr. Haxby
has teamed up with Whitman Publishing to create the definitive price guide and
reference book on the coins and tokens of Canada, from colonial times to the present.
Who will be interested in the Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens?
... beginning to intermediate collectors of Canadian coins
... advanced Canadian specialists who want a well-laid-out single-source reference for mintages, specifications, and other technical data
... token collectors looking for an expert guide to Canadian colonial and provincial pieces
... U.S. collectors who want to learn more about closely related Canadian coinage
... world-coin collectors building a type set or more advanced collection of Canadian coins
... new hobbyists and investors attracted to Canadian coins by the recent rise in gold and silver
... casual collectors and travelers with unidentified Canadian coins and tokens, curious about their history and values
Call it the “Red Book with a Canadian accent”—the Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens
uses the same familiar format, layout, and design as the hobby’s best-selling annual price guide, Whitman’s
Guide Book of United States Coins (the “Red Book,” now in its 66th edition). Coin collectors know
and love the Red Book; more than 22 million copies have been sold since the first edition. We’re confident
that the Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens will be just as popular with active collectors.

I also happen to have one of those sets coinsarefun has in his post (except the gold coin has been replaced with a plastic token) - - with the same level of tarnish..... or should I say "awesome toning" (and get 10x their value that way!
- - Dave
Oh, I`ll just vote "No"
After the law was changed they were no longer "forbidden fruit" and novelty wore off. I've understood that a fair number of these coins have been melted for their bullion value, which is a shame.

I could have gone with either I own some or Yes I dabble went with I own some because it's been years since I bought one.
