Hi all, I'm about to start on a totally new collection. Canadian Large Cents 1858-1920. Don't know why, but I have been finding myself drawn to that series lately and I don't even have one example in my collection. Well I was browsing ebay and came across a Capital holder for the entire series (w/o varieties) and took that as a sign that I should put together a set. The thing is, I don't have ANY reference books for Canadian except for the Standard Catalog of World Coins. Do any of you have any recommendations for grading guides, price guides, or even any general references of Canadian coinage? I have my eye on the Standard Grading Guide for Canadian Coinage and a copy of 2005 Charlton. I assume that they are the equivalent of the ANA Grading Guide and the Red Book? Any comments are welcome.
I Have a 2004 edition of Charlton. It has several pages on Canadian large cents. Yes it is similiar to the Red Book but no colour photos.
Ccgnum,what is Haxby? Is it an edition of 'Coins of Canada' by R.C. Willey & J.A. Haxby? I've got a battered 3rd Edition one, whereas,another member has got a 20th Edition.
