I've noticed over the last couple years that there really is no place for Canadians to get expert advice on Canadian coins, errors, varieties etc. There really seems to be very little attraction which shows when you look through websites trying to find info on errors/varieties. Even the Canadian coneca page is old and outdated, I think I read on the bottom of the page...last updated 2004 , I even emailed Patrick Glassford to let him know of a rotated die cent I found...never heard a word. I'm not ditching anyone on the forums ...I know that if anyone has info they help. I just wish that Canadian coin collectors that are experts would have a forum or site that we could access. Maybe this should be in the whining thread.

i think canadian coins are purdy i wonder why there isnt any intrest up there??? i hope you find help soon!! ever trying to find a expert of canadian coins n america???

Maybe you need to start a website --- Canadian Coin People or just send emails to all the Canadian collectors you know and get them to be more active here.

I'm not very good on the computer Art so starting a web site would be more than I could take on. Finding Canadian collectors seems a task in itself and it seems there is very little interest when it comes to error/variety coins amongst Canadian Numismatics or perhaps I just don't know where to look.

For whatever reason the Canadian coin community isn't really a group - it sometimes seems like an activity which everyone does on their own.

Even here on CP, I remember seeing several members from BC / WA and most disappeared after a few posts. Perhaps Canadian collectors are internet-shy?

Not a ton of things, but a handful to get you started.

Click on Varieties to get a few more, and there there's:

I'm just waiting for the fifth edition to come out. It was supposed to be available last month, but I haven't heard anything yet.

Or they are actually Germans.

What could be right however is that American collectors are more interested in errors and varieties than collectors elsewhere. Don't know about Canada but it's certainly true for much of Europe.
